                There are more tree squirrel species in North America then we all realize and a slam for taking those species. Here is a neat podcast,

You know that I am up for the squirrel slam. Just have to get out to AZ and other western states.

Ever hunt around Marionville? I'd like one of those all white rats for fly tying.

            I want two,

 One to tan and keep, the other for fly tying and both to eat :)

               We will need to get an exercise program going. Some can be pretty high up.

I've got one around here that is blacker than this one.   He/she is jet black top and bottom.  I thought it was a baby skunk at first.

Those black squirrels are starting to show up in lots of places. Saw my first one up in Davenport, IA a couple years ago. MIL told me the story. Kinda cool. Got to Googling and they're scattered all over the place. Never see them here though, so far.

Are they an actual species, or just a genetic freak?  This one hung around here all day, but haven't seen it again since.   Just passing through?     I considered shooting it, but then questioned my reasoning of why......so I didn't.    Tried to get a decent pic but he wasn't gonna let that happen.   Just studied him through the scope at 45 yards.

I think they're more like a race. And, not trying to be funny -- I think it's a pigment thing not a species or subspecies.
