I noticed over time that when I would take my boat to Port Huron, Michigan, there were black squirrels there, not 50 or so miles west where I lived, just the gray squirrels in that area. Hmmm…
Great catch, Belinda! I love black squirrels which are just melanistic gray squirrels. There are a couple in our neighborhood but I have yet to see one when I have my camera handy. I’ve never seen a white melanistic except in posted photographs

What an appealingly unusual (to me) shot…..love the black subject against all the midtone in the exposure/frame. Super neat.

That;s a cutie for sure. We don’t have black squirrels here, so this is a nice surprise to start the week. Great shot.

He was a handsome one! I know they’re only in some provinces and states. Maybe some will move your way😊

We didn’t have them where I grew up, very common here in Ontario. I agree they’re very cute.

Thank you, Steve! We have more of them than any other kind here. I hadn’t heard of a white melanistic, that would be something to see.
