Field Notes

Description:

This black Grey Squirrel resides in Washington D.C., and was spotted not far from the Einstein Memorial.

Habitat:

Urban; Found in the Washington D.C. mall area.

Notes:

I've seen photos of Grey Squirrels that were blacker than this one, but this is the darkest Grey Squirrel I've ever seen with my own eyes in person. I'm sure if we held some food out for him, he would have taken it.
