Sciurus carolinensis
Eastern Gray Squirrels (Black form) are common in this area, here is one of them. I think people feed them, because this one posed for the camera and was not afraid

They also seem to be bolder than the gray form, one of these eats peanuts out of someone's hand.
Good pic! The comments made me smile to myself...as I can see 3 black squirrels in my front yard right now!
I have never seen a squirrel like this before - thank you for sharing.
Some areas they are hardly seen, and other areas they can be very common.
Cool! Never saw a black squirrel!
