   Very cool. I would imagine they are a lot more vulnerable – so easy to see. They don’t really blend in with anything except snow.

     Pretty unusual. They would blend in well with snow, that’s for sure.

   There’s a place called Olney, IL, known for its white squirrels…

     I just looked it up. They have 77 white squirrels as of this year’s census, down from 100 last year. Huge loss – 25%! They take their mascot pretty seriously…the bylaws protecting them are impressive. Cats are not allowed to roam free and they are going after ferals. Thanks for the heads up!

       Now that’s pretty cool. As I wrote that note, I was thinking,’maybe they aren’t there anymore…’ Now I know they are! Thanks.

   May it snow lightly and keep him safer than his buddies this winter!

   In TI Park where I work they are overrun with black squirrels – never have seen a white one!

     Apparently, black and white are variations of the gray, but true albinos are quite rare. There are a few black squirrels around here that we see occasionally, but like you, never a white one!
