As to why you are seeing less of them, my google search said grey squirrels can carry a disease which will hurt only the red squirrels. Also the grey squirrels will out compete reds for food.

That's i interesting. kind of surprised reds taking a backseat to grays. Those things are mean as hell and tough to eat. You have to kill 2 for the meat of 1 gray.
