This photo is a little different as it is very unusual to see two different species of squirrels feeding together. The top one is a Washington Pine Squirrel and the other is an Eastern Gray. According to the Wildlife office, the Eastern Grays are slowing taking over the area where the native squirrels live and suggested I do something about getting rid of it.

Re: Squirrels
You are correct, they don't get along, and compete for food. But, I'd just leave it alone, other than allowing your dog to have fun!

Re: Squirrels
Interesting,
It has been the eastern Greys Squirrels that have slowly been encroaching on the territory of the native Red Squirrels in the UK. But slowly the Reds are regaining ground. A few years ago there were only a few communities left but now these have increased significantly. The Greys were brought over here in the 19th C as pets but some escaped and created a population explosion.
