Black Beauty

 
We haven't seen a black squirrel at our feeder since the middle of last summer.  I though perhaps someone shot her.  Today she appeared.   Her coat is so shiny, but the picture doesn't do her justice.  Her tail is red, I don't know if it will turn black or not.  The one at our feeder last summer had a black tail.


And that's the way it is..............................

  9. We have gray squirrels and red squirrels around here--and the occasional flying squirrel when camping in the woods. I do remember seeing black squirrels when we were travelling out west, though.

  10. What a cute little squirrel. I used to love to watch them go from tree to tree when we lived in Missouri. I would get so mad at them though when they would get into the bird feed and steal it.

  14. I have never seen a black squirrel. Ours are grayish and not at all shiny. They do share your visitor's love of the bird feeder, though.

  15. I used to see black squirrels all the time where I used to live (14 miles from where I live now) but haven't seen any at all around here.
    Great shots.
