According to the map of their range on Wikipedia, the range of the fox squirrel includes both Georgia and Tennessee, but I don't recollect seeing them much in metro Atlanta or Knoxville. I was a lot more used to the smaller Eastern gray squirrel.
The fox squirrels are huge compared to Eastern grays, being half again (or more) the size and weight.
Didn't see many Eastern gray squirrels when I first moved up here, but they've been gradually spreading northward through the neighborhood, the nearest ones living in trees only a few doors south of Roseholme Cottage now.

They both have two litters a year if the eating's good...and it's a veritable squirrel smorgasbord here in SoBro, with yards full of oak trees and bird feeders. The grays tend to have slightly larger litters, I think.
