Your welcome Jessica. Feel free to go back and edit your spotting, to put the common name, as well as the scientific name. This will make it easier for you and others to find in future searches. Have fun...bye for now.

Hello Jessica. Nice Squirrel. Although the Squirrel is black, it is a melanistic subgroup of the Gray Squirrel. In the reference link I sent you scroll towards the bottom of the page and you wills see your Squirrel. Here is mine. (I prefer spelling the word 'gray' with an 'e', in case you are wondering.) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22273139
