The reason I ask is I have only seen at the most three squirrels at a time feeding from the seeds under the bird feeders in my backyard, and I was wondering if there was any way to know if these are always, or at least mostly, the same three squirrels coming back over and over and over, living nearby, or do I have ten, twenty, a hundred different squirrels coming from all over the neighborhood to feed from the feeders day after day. I don't mind them coming, they do no damage to the feeders or the birds. I just want to know, if I name them for fun, am I always seeing the same Larry, Moe, and Curly Squirrel?

Yes, all squirrels are territorial, most mammals are, but since their territories overlap in three dimensions, they have to fight continually with other squirrels.
This may not be the case if they belong to the same family, then they share peacefully food until next breeding time comes, then moms expels them from the nest.

Grey squirrels are the most ferocious squirrel that there is. I would suggest catching it and making a great stew for the family to enjoy
