I found a posting of a black squirrel: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10082495 It's pretty fun seeing these in person
Thank you! I'll look forward to it :D
I'll have to take a picture of one the next time I go up to Bellingham. I learned about them in school. If I can find a good article about them I'll post it for you!
AryaMansourzadeh, that is really interesting. That would be great if you could get such a picture. Do you have a link to a reliable page where you can read the story about the common grey squirrel and black squirrel in Washington?
It is found in Washington and is actually out breeding the Western Grey Squirrel. I'll try to get a picture of the mutated Eastern Grey Squirrel (which is black).
As far as I can see, the Eastern gray squirrel are to be found in some areas in Washington. http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_squirrel/
Do you know the history behind the common grey squirrel and black squirrel in Washington? If not, look it up. It's very interesting!
