remember the gopher in Caddy Shack? these guys are my gophers...they taunt my dog and literally could care less if we are near them...awfully bold. they are in my driveway when I come out of my house. they are much bolder than brown squirrels and they have only been around her for a few years....
A black squirrel sighting for me is rare so I'd be all excited if I encountered one, especially with camera in hand. This one looks so classy in his ebony coat.
@memoriesbydawn at one time in my nieighborhood there weren't any...I actually watched them move more westward. it was kind of bizarre because I used to see them where I worked which was about a mile away and we didn't have them at our house then.
We have a terrible squirrel problem here. I live about an hours south of chicago. We have these black squirrels that are so beautiful (they look like mini black bears) but the they gnaw on anything plastic. They've ruined bike pedals, chairs, a cupola on top of our house! They're relentless!
