Field Notes

Description:

The Black Squirrel is a melanistic variety of the Eastern Grey Squirrel. They hang out together and live in the same habitats and breed together. The black one is upside-down on the birdfeeder.

Habitat:

They are on my bird feeder, which is near Toronto.

Notes:

The grey one posed for more pictures, but the black one ran away after this one.
