May 28, 2023 - a black squirrel!!! the first one I’ve ever seen in my life! and interesting timing too because someone just asked me YESTERDAY if I had ever seen a black squirrel (it came up because we were talking about squirrels in general). Wish I could’ve gotten a better pic, though

@val Where are you? It's a black morph of the eastern grey squirrel, and they're common around Chicago. My mother-in-law lived in the burbs north of Chicago, and most of the backyard squirrels there were black.

@val We had them in Princeton. Lots of them. It was fun to see them. Decades before the iPhone, so I’ll never find the photo I took.
