To Spokane and Yakima Valley tweets/inland birders:

One of the Spokane Inland Birders informs me that Eastern Gray Squirrels are still present in the Spokane area and that they occur in her developed area 20 miles north of Spokane.

Are Eastern Grays the only Sciurus squirrel in the Spokane area? How numerous are they? Has anyone in the area seen them outside developed areas? Anyone up there seen any Eastern Fox Squirrels?

How about the Yakima Valley? We have a record of an Eastern Gray from Prosser, but no other place in the Yakima Valley. Have they persisted there? Spread?

Thanks,
Kelly
