Average size squirrel. Mainly gray with small amount of white on tail.
Woods behind house
Strange squirrel.... We live close to woods but the squirrels rarely come close to the house. This is the only picture I have but it was acting a bit crazy. It was in the grass on the bank above my flower bed digging up our yard. My 3 year old and I watch it for a little while. When I got the camera and took the pic it ran away. In the picture it looks like it has something in its mouth.
I'm going to have to disagree. A black squirrel is just a darker form (melanistic) of the Eastern Gray Squirrel.
Sometimes called the grey squirrel. But a grey squirrel is just a lighter variety of the black squirrel. I usually see these during a rain storm in feeders.
