Black Squirrel in a Gray Tree

Boring picture- boring title! What can I say?!

[Barb]

Wow! Haven't seen a black one before...

[Maggiemae]

Dear wee squirrel -- I wish i could have one as a pet!

[Allison Williams]

Title, maybe, but picture definitely not!

[Lesley]

Not at all boring. The only black squirrels I’ve ever seen were in Switzerland. Great shot.

[Walks @ 7]

Title fits (no apologies needed) and this is a wonderful capture of a squirrel variety that I've never seen.

[Harry J Benson]

Photo is not boring – good textures & DoF

[Islandgirl]

Very neat on the grey tree, and nice textured background!

[Wyomingsister]

I'm not at all bored! I, also, have never seen a black squirrel! This is a great photo!

[Lisa Poland]

We had black squirrels in NH. They were gigantic. He's really cute!

[katy]

The picture is not boring at all.......the title could use a little work! ;~} Our squirrels are only gray so this is a really cool photo! I like the composition and the shallow DOF Oh yeah FAV

[Pam]

Not boring Ann. Beautiful wee squirrel

[gloria jones]

Great capture...nice composition, details

[Pigeons Farm]

He is such a cutie and I like his colour.

[Milanie]

Never seen one with that coloring

[Babs]

So interesting, I have never seen a black squirrel before.

[Ron]

Count me among those who never knew a black squirrel was a thing! Great capture!

[*lynn]

wonderful capture ... I like his tail curved up over him

[eDorre]

Cute picture and neat textures!

[Monique]

Never seen one before 👍

[Kathy A]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black squirrel, very cute!

[Wylie]

wow, a black squirrel!

[Bri]

Never know they came in black, great capture. Congrat's on making popular and trending pages.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture. You don't see black squirrels around here very much.

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely shot & dof!

[haskar]

Beautiful capture.

Thank you so much- one and all- for your views, gracious comments and favs!

According to Jane, my friend the science teacher, black squirrels are merely mutations of the gray ones. Right now I have two of them who play in my backyard but unlike their gray counterparts I never see them trying to raid the bird feeder. Interesting!

[Rick Schies]

Fav for me

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@digitalrn Thank you Rick and thank you so much for the fav!

[Pyrrhula]

Ours are brown. Great capture of this nice black one.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry- most of the time they are gray.

[katy]

I just read your tag! LOL!

[Kathy]

Unusual coloring for the squirrel, but a great capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@grammyn That's going to be happening throughout the Spring when the weather goes back and forth from sun to rain. Glad it made you smile!

@randystreat Thank you Kathy!

[Junko Y]

You have a black squirrel! I've only seen one in Michigan when I was a student there decades ago. I like his contrast to the whiteness of the tree.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@jyokota Thank you Junko! I never saw them when I lived in New Jersey but have had several over the years we've lived here in Pennsylvania.

[Junko Y]

@olivetreeann photographing squirrels is so much fun . . .
