Nice sequence BD. I think I like #1 the better of the two, however they both do make for some hilarity.

I do believe that is the first black squirrel I have ever seen.

Nice set. I also like #1.

I do believe that is the first black squirrel I have ever seen.

There are a number in Washington DC that were sent in exchange, from Ontario, for Eastern Gray Squirrels in the early 1900s. These are the same species but a color variation. A number of them have ended up at the University of Maryland campus in College Park.

Nice clarity.

I am always surprised when people say this. When I lived in Detroit, they ran rampant along with brown and red ones but black was the most common. Now I live West of Detroit and don't see them. I see the occasional brown one out here but I think they are a food source for other wildlife so you don't see as many.
