Hi, 51studebaker, it's cool to live with the white squirrel around! Witnessing them from time to time must be full of fun and refreshing! Maybe auspicious even, white animals are often regarded as symbol of good luck, aren't they! I heard some tourists go there to see them on special trips:

(This might be an interbred as you said) Just seeing them on screen makes me happy enough!

And for the grey squirrels, I see news report that they have invaded the British isles with rapid spread. I am wondering how they are controlled in number in north America, with more predators or with less foods?
Hi, John, I see some different descriptions (in John Burroughs' book) for the habits of the red squirrels!

The red squirrel lays up no stores like the provident chipmunk, but scours about for food in all weathers, feeding upon the seeds in the cones of the hemlock that still cling to the tree, upon sumac-bobs, and the seeds of frozen apples.
