I have had to relegate grey squirrels to the No Longer Socially Acceptable file under Things Loved in Childhood - along with ivy, scotch broom, dandelions, morning glory and a bunch of other things.

It is heartening, through, to see how many native Douglas Squirrels are frequenting area neighborhoods and making friends with residents in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.
