So, here's a question (or 2):
1) Are "eastern" grays the same as "western" grays?
2) Are "reds" the same as fox squirrels?
Well, I did a quick search and found https://wildlifeinformer.com/types-of-squirrels/. So, to answer my own questions, "1" issolid maybe no and "2" is no. I'll do some more reading on the grays, but I thought someone might find this interesting.
Eastern & western grays have different close relatives, as well as somewhat differing diets, habitats and behaviors. Westerns are also larger, and according to one site I found, over 1/2 the diet of western grays in California is truffles.
