Field Notes
Description:
The eastern gray squirrel has a grayish body with some black, white or brown fur and a whitish belly. Some gray squirrels are completely black; this is called melanism. These squirrels have bushy tails that vary in color from pale gray to brownish. Eastern gray squirrels can grow to 20 inches long and weigh 1.5 pounds.
Habitat:
Found in my neighbor's local backyard. The area consists of a large open field of grass and some oak trees.
Notes:
I often see these squirrels, almost every day. They are super cute.
