The map's a little peculiar, but if I'm seeing right the photos are from
near Yuba City. I'm west of Sacramento about twenty miles.

Greys are in undisturbed rural areas, but not in town. Only fox sqirrels,
an introduced species, have been seen in my yard. In a sense that's good:
Greys are rare and protected, fox squirrels are pests and unprotected. 

My money is that it's fox squirrels. The question is what, if anything,
can be done. Excluding squirrels is harder than excluding birds. For now
I'm just going to pay more attention and try to learn.
