- The Eastern Gray Squirrel has predominantly gray fur, but can also have a brownish color, and has a large bushy tail
- Nests are hard to see in the Summer, because they are made with green leaves and are hidden by foliage, and much easier to see in the Winter when the leaves have browned and fallen
- They feed on seeds, nuts, buds, insects, bird eggs and fungi, depending on the time of year
Active Season
