Cool spot Jessa. The eastern grey squirrel's colour is very diverse where we live in southern Ontario. I've seen them half black half brown, all black with a bright tail and blond ones but I haven't seen one with a white tip at its tail. Welcome to Noah, look forward to more spottings. This would also be great for my mission.
