Sciurus niger
Observed in a partially urban area with numerous Oak trees, large open area, residential area on the south, a fairly busy 2-lane road on the west. This a County owned property with a water reclamation facility with a recycling drop off near the front where this Fox Squirrel was seen. It has been seen several times before.
This squirrel was observed close to the entry of the water reclamation facility near a fairly busy county road US Alt 19. It was approx. 40-50 yards in and took refuge in an Oak Tree bordering the entry road.
It scurried to the higher heights of the tree. There it appeared to attempt to hug (flatten out) against the branch in an attempt to camouflage itself from me.
