Part of Clawed and Cyril's family tree

This little guy seems to have a lot of brown on him. I see a black one around here on occasion. Haven't been able to get a pic of him yet.

this is what we call a red squirrel. we have grey squirrels also in this area. It is the grey squirrels I believe you get an occasional black one from. There is a town in Northeren Illinois that has several white squirrels. Aledo Illinois has more than their fair share of black squirrels.

Hi Km thanks for your pm...and welcome to the growing family of squirrels around the world.News certainly travels fast on GOY!
This one is a handsome fella!

What a lovely Photo

He's a handsome fellow

He,s a cutie...

The black fox squirrel you have Mike may be a dark pigment gray or could also be a rare black variety. The blacks are larger and have some white underneath, I saw one 5 years ago on a fishing trip and was just amazed.

The one I see now and then is larger and he does have white underneath so I guess he's a rare one. I've never seen a red one in person.

Perfection! the shot is very well taken, they are so cute when they eat. now if you see my boys!

Nice shot, great fluffy tail!
