Holy Hot Dogs….I just saw a black squirrel! At first I thought I’d just been chewing on tainted pine bark mulch too long but after running in the house screaming for mom to come see (yep..got in trouble for that again…she thought a hawk ate my brother. No such luck), she told me they are not that “uncommon”. Hmph.
Now, I am not racist but I thought this little fella was kinda freaky. Perhaps his mom mated with a skunk? Anyway, he let me take his picture and he promised to come back if I keep some good nuts at my house. I told him we had plenty….Uncle Harry, Aunt Hilda, Cousin Henry, etc.!

I am an avid nature lover who had never seen a black squirrel until today. How I wish I had my camera with me. I was walking in the Memorial Park area when I saw one up very close. Very cool!
I was walking in Terry Hershey park and thought I was seeing things. Then, I saw a pair of them. The next time I was lucky enough to snap a good picture of one with my phone while it was eating a nut in a tree
Teresa, I saw a black squirrel at Terrey Hershey Park as well. I thought it had been painted by somewhipper snappers, but know I can be at peace. What a park.. I saw vultures, a hawk, and a huge carp in the Bayou.
