Summary
Description
The Delmarva fox squirrel DFS; Sciurus niger cinereus is a subspecies of the Eastern fox squirrel. The DFS once ranged from southeastern Pennsylvania Poole, 1932 to the Southern part of the Delmarva Peninsula Taylor, 1973. In 1967, the DFS was declared endangered, and in 1993 the DFS recovery team set up several sites to monitor DFS populations. We were contracted to assess adequacy of data collected at numerous sites Fig 1 on and around the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge to estimate survival and abundance of DFS.
