A simple solution for simple folks! > Enjoy the spring and the squirrel! * Grey (mostly black) Squirrels are intrusive in big areas of eastern Ontario, even though they've 'always' been in the Oak woods along the St-Lawrence and in cities like Ottawa - they've just shown up here in Bishops Mills in the past decade or so. I find that they occur where there are Oak or nut trees or bird feeders. Their spread has been allowed by the planting of Oak and nut trees, rampaging spread of squirrel-borne not-native-here Black Walnuts, secondary succession increasing the number of Oaks, and the proliferation of bird feeders. fred. ------------------------------------------------------------ Frederick W.
