We have a few black walnut trees out back, no problem as they are by themselves and
keep to themselves..... I have only seen one white grey squirrel unfortunately he was
run over by a car, and it was over 10 years ago. We have one all black squirrel and
about 17 regular greys that show up for breakfast daily, along with 2 red squirrels
that have been here 2 years now.... This is their first appearance around the house
as far as I know.... Racing squirrels (Chipmunks) have gone underground now
that it's getting cold.... Along with the 4 footers, are several varieties of birds
that also show up & they all ground feed with the squirrels out front under a
big old pine trimmed up to give them all shelter from the hawks while
they eat..... I go through a 50# bag of black oil sunflower seeds
in a little over a month. Our house is the neighborhood
Olive Garden for local wildlife.....

The crows get 2 slices of bread cut up in little squares next to the
driveway as they like to eat out in the open & away from the
always eating & running squirrels...... Crows are very polite
to one another, & there is always a look-out keeping
watch while the other 3 eat. Blue-Jays tend to be
rude and loud, the crows sit back and wait till
they are done and move on....
