We have seen at least a half dozen gray squirrels and one red squirrel swimming from Nineacre Island to Whortleberry Island over the last few days. They seem to be pretty good swimmers, though our neighbors had one jump onto their kayak probably in desperation. We are wondering if there might be an over abundance of predators such as fox or fisher that are driving them off the island, which is uninhabited.
