This morning I managed to snap a couple of pictures of the black squirrel that hangs around the Aerie. As usual, they were taken through a pretty dirty window and there's some light reflection from inside so the quality is not the best, but still--it's a freakin' black squirrel!
It--and four of it's grey friends--were fattening up on sunflower seeds before this afternoon's forecasted bout of snow. They were also hanging on for dear life against a rather strong breeze out of the southwest. Depending upon who you listen to we could get anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of snow this afternoon and into the night. As I write this (10 AM) there's nothing much happening in the snow department. The only snow in the air is the stuff blowing off the roof.
Tell you what. Our place in Loudonville, Ohio has solid black squirrels that only arrived maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I'm suspecting that yours is a hybrid. He's not solidly JET black.
