Quite restricted range in southern rockies and southwest. Also just a cool squirrel. How many black ones have YOU seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check and see if I have any photos of one, most the time I don't bother to take pictures of squirrels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not mean to be rude at all, but are you certain that's a Tassel-eared? I've seen normal Eastern Grays that look this dark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Getting out of the truck at a lake about a month ago, I saw this Raccoon walking down a small suburban street. Hope the little dude is ok, I typically don't see them out and about in the day and he had some unkempt fur. (Yup, I kept my distance) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I think I got a herp lifer last month, but never pulled it out of my sd card. Pretty sure this is a Northern Ribbon Snake, but he sure wasn't cooperative. @Seanbirds what do you think about this guy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
