Black Squirrels
Another squirrel posting. Here in Massachusetts, and generally throughout the Northeastern US, squirrels are grey. When we moved into our house five years ago, we noticed that many of the squirrels in our backyard had black fur. I'd never seen black squirrels before. They're a variation of the Eastern Grey Squirrel and are common in Ontario and Quebec. A Google search turned up a lot of pages dedicated to black squirrels. For example, there's a Black Squirrel Festival at Kent State in Ohio. There are white squirrels as well and some towns are pretty darn proud of them.
