  • Symposium on the Gray Squirrel
    SYMPOSIUM ON THE GRAY SQUIRREL INTRODUCTION This symposium is an innovation in the regional meetings of professional game and fish personnel. When I was asked to serve as chairman of the Technical Game Sessions of the 13th Annual Conference of the Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners this seemed to be an excellent opportunity to collect most of the people who have done some research on the gray squirrel to exchange information and ideas and to summarize some of this work for the benefit of game managers and other biologists. Many of these people were not from the southeast and surprisingly not one of the panel mem­ bers is presenting a general resume of one aspect of squirrel biology with which he is most familiar. The gray squirrel is also important in Great Britain but because it causes extensive damage to forests. Much work has been done over there by Monica Shorten (Mrs. Vizoso) and a symposium on the gray squirrel would not be complete without her presence. A grant from the National Science Foundation through the American Institute of Biological Sciences made it possible to bring Mrs. Vizoso here. It is hoped that this symposium will set a precedent for other symposia at future wildlife conferences. VAGN FLYGER. THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE GRAY SQUIRREL, SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS, TO ITS NEAREST RELATIVES By DR. ]. C. MOORE INTRODUCTION It seems at least slightly more probable at this point in our knowledge of the living Sciuridae, that the northeastern American gray squirrel's oldest known ancestors came from the Old \Vorld rather than evolved in the New.

  • Western Gray Squirrel Recovery Plan
    STATE OF WASHINGTON November 2007 Western Gray Squirrel Recovery Plan by Mary J. Linders and Derek W. Stinson by Mary J. Linders and Derek W. Stinson Washington Department of FISH AND WILDLIFE Wildlife Program In 1990, the Washington Wildlife Commission adopted procedures for listing and de-listing species as en- dangered, threatened, or sensitive and for writing recovery and management plans for listed species (WAC 232-12-297, Appendix E). The procedures, developed by a group of citizens, interest groups, and state and federal agencies, require preparation of recovery plans for species listed as threatened or endangered. Recovery, as defined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is the process by which the decline of an en- dangered or threatened species is arrested or reversed, and threats to its survival are neutralized, so that its long-term survival in nature can be ensured. This is the final Washington State Recovery Plan for the Western Gray Squirrel. It summarizes the historic and current distribution and abundance of western gray squirrels in Washington and describes factors af- fecting the population and its habitat. It prescribes strategies to recover the species, such as protecting the population and existing habitat, evaluating and restoring habitat, potential reintroduction of western gray squirrels into vacant habitat, and initiating research and cooperative programs. Interim target population objectives and other criteria for reclassification are identified. The draft state recovery plan for the western gray squirrel was reviewed by researchers and representatives from state, county, local, tribal, and federal agencies, and regional experts. This review was followed by a 90-day public comment period.

    VIRTUAL EOGECOMMUNICATIONS ~ www .VirtualEdge.ca Ric Wallace, owner March 1,2007 Chair and Members Board of Control P.O. Box 5035 London ON N6A 4L9 Re: Proposal to adopt the black squirrel as London’s mascot Dear Chair and Members, Board of Control: Please find enclosed a report detailing why the staff of Virtual Edge Communications and Victoria-Park.com believe that London, Ontario should adopt the black squirrel as its mascot. This report includes petition signatures and reasons for choosing the black squirrel. It also contains information on Kent, Ohio, an American city that has adopted London Ontario’s black squirrels. Kent’s “Tree City’’ motto is similar to our own “Forest City” motto. We have the support of many prominent people in Kent, who would like to see a partnership formed between our two communities in order to promote our shared mottos and squirrels. The black squirrel would make an excellent mascot for London as a living, thriving creature, which everyone can see year-round and on a daily basis. While common and plentiful here, by North American standards the black squirrel is relatively rare. Some biologists estimate that only 1 in 10,000 squirrels are black. In communities where black squirrels are common, they may actually outnumber grey squirrels 10 to 1. However, most Americans and many Canadians living outside Ontario have never seen a black squirrel. The black squirrel’s rarity has increased its popularity to the south of Canada. When something is rare, people often associate it with luck. Ontario black squirrels are now found in select U.S.

  • For the Squirrels
    For the Squirrels One of my Extension memories was answering Harvey Cramer's question about why Marysville, Kansas had black squirrels and we never had any. As the farm truck topped the hill one-half mile south of his farm house a black squirrel scurried across the road in front of the truck. Quickest question I ever answered in Extension. We have three kinds of squirrels in Southeast Nebraska. The most numerous would be the fox squirrel. The most common color is the reddish rust color, but they can also be silver-gray to black. Some town populations like Marysville and Battle Creek, Michigan are noted as black squirrel towns. Fox squirrels are 18-24 inches from nose to tail and weigh about two pounds when mature. They bear three to six young in February or March and sometimes have a second litter in July or early August. Fox squirrels do not hibernate, but do increase their time in the nest during colder weather. Their life span is from four to seven years. Gray squirrels live in more thickly forested areas along the Missouri, Blue and in larger towns. They are typically gray with a buff underfur. They tend to be a little smaller than fox squirrels. Flying squirrels are much smaller than fox or gray squirrels and have a membrane that extends from the wrist of the front leg to the ankle of the hind leg on each side of the squirrel. A horizontally flattened tail serves as a rudder during glides. Their fur is long and silky gray to brown on their backs and creamy white on their bellies.

  • And Fox Squirrels (S
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
