We have always had a healthy population of black gray squirrels around camp in north-central PA.
Never had them around home in southeast PA until about 6-7 years ago when I saw my first one. About 40% of them are black now.
Eh...wot?

If not too messed up, might have some value to a taxidermist.
Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.
Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.
Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

BigBob I cased him to tan later. They aren't rare around here. Don't have to be, most all taxidermist's will buy/sell all over the country.

About 40% of them are black now. Gonna have to pay reparations soon.

Growing up (70s), it was more rare to see gray squirrels than black in the Windsor area. I was a bit skeptical when Americans would tell me they'd never seen a black squirrel LOL.
We actually have a few albinos in my area that I see once in a while.
Just happy to be here.
