The black grey squirrel

[cornshank]

was out for exercise ride , in town yesterday on my bike and saw a jet black tree squirrel on someone’s front lawn!
I almost ran into a parked car while looking at the prized black squirrel!
So I stopped and looked for witnesses driving by to see if they also saw it, but’s no one else even cared? So pulled out my phone and took a picture and you can’t even tell it’s an animal !
I’ve only seen two in my life !

I have only seen one before, the black morph animals are pretty neat!

Yeah , I couldn’t believe it. , I’ve also seen a robin with white patches of feathers , it was in a bunch of 30 or 40 that fed in my yard everyday for a while. I would tell my neighbor in my best Native American voice -
( Gary , I have seen the white robin )

We have them around in Ohio. On Kent State Univ. there must be several families of them because they are everywhere.

When I lived in Massachusetts there was a public park built by Stanley Home Products. They brought in jet black squirrels to inhabit the park. Over the years, the squirrels multiplied and migrated all throughout the community. They were a very common sight there.

The locals say that the squirrels were imported from Brazil, but who knows.

There are a few places in SE PA that have pockets of them. I took this picture in Philadelphia at about 6:30am and then stopped to mention it to a few locals who were waiting for a bus. They were unimpressed!

We have a few black greys and also some black red/fox squirrels. On a farm I used to visit, they had a shiny black red squirrel that hung around the corrals that was as big as a small house cat and shiny as a crow.
We have a town down here that is known for it's white squirrels.

We used to see a lot black squirrels around Fairbanks. I was told that they were pine squirrels. They were different from gray or fox squirrels.
