When I first moved to Nebraska I was startled by the red/brown squirrels that are around here. Every other place I lived had grey squirrels. But there is a rare crossbreed here that produces a pure black squirrel. For years I've been trying to get a good picture of one of these squirrels and finally managed to get pictures of not one but two of them during a walk in the neighborhood. So glad I decided to take my camera with me that day.

They are amazing, Jeff. I have seen another photo of a black squirrel (here on Caedes some years ago) but have never seen one in person. Great find and super shots. I am glad You had Your camera along also.

We see them in Illinois occasionally - there is one that lives around my Mom's house now - nice capture of a more rare squirrel.

The only black squirrel I'm acquainted with is the one that bit my brother when he was little...he had trapped it in a cage...so my brother had it coming. He had to get tested for rabies, etc.

Love these shots of an unusual squirrel. I'd love to see one again (under different circumstances, of course!) S&F

That is a cool looking breed of squirrel. A fine capture of him in action.

Super collage of the squirrel, we have lots of black ones and the little red ones chase the black ones, it's really funny to see.
