Fox squirrel and grey squirrel are pretty good. In SE Michigan the black phase of the grey squirrel was the most common while I was growing up. In northern Michigan, black squirrels are as big as cats, I’m not exaggerating.

Fox squirrels are a little more common than grey in temperate woodlands, correct me if I’m wrong. They’re usually bigger than grey squirrels (except the black phase up north).

Up in Ann Arbor Our Son-in-law started feeding the squirrels in their yard.   Now even my Granddaughter can hand feed them.   Our Daughter sent my wife videos of the little varmints timidly coming into the kitchen to get walnuts and scooting back out.   They even tap on the windows when they want to be fed.
