Years ago my father, who lived near Chicago had both red and grey squirrels and one brown squirrel. I wondered whether it could be a  crossbreed. I hope someone will answer Schultz's question about whether they crossbreed.

Subject: Re: [UVB] squirrel question

Our experience on Elm St. in Norwich village has been similar to what others are reporting.  A gradual trend over the last 20 years of decreasing red squirrels and increasing gray squirrels.  When we first moved into town in 1993, we had zero gray squirrels - only reds.  Now we have plenty of grays.  We've also noticed the occasional (apparent?) hybrid which appears to be a cross?  Does anyone know with certainty if they crossbreed?
