I thought I would share my Black Squirrels from Kent today. They have free reign over the neighborhood an love my feeder. This guy thought this was a good way to get at the food quickly. "Let's see, if I make it lean more food comes out.".
"I feel someone watching me." Hey squirrel, you have a little food around your mouth.
"This is fun, if I jump from the pole on top I get a nice view of the neighborhood."
"The roof of the shed is a nice place to rest after I get a full belly. What is that dove doing up here?" - I built this shed 10 years ago and the roof is holding up well.
The Black Squirrels do normal squirrel things when not near my feeders.
I do hope you enjoyed a look at the areas Black Squirrels. There is a festival coming in September for them.

I wonder what type of personality do these have...are they similiar to the fox squirrel or more like the gray squirrel? To me, they look like they would be more timid than the fox squirrels but maybe not as shy as the gray.
Cor, never seen a Black one b4 Tom.
Great shots.
Tom,
Very cool. I have never seen a black squirrel until you started posting them. I will have to google this to be sure you haven't let the spray paint get away from you. LOL

Isn't it amazing that I see more blogs with squirrels in bird feeders than I do BIRDS... ha ha (At least you have pretty squirrels.)
Hugs,

I love the commentary! You crack me up, Tom! hehehe
This is a very big size squirrel. Is it tame ? We have squirrels over here too, but the are very small and scared of people. And they don't it from feeder. Haha.
Hey, we have that same bird feeder. Those ninja squirrels are going to tear it up, Man. We decided not to throw it away, but turn it into a very entertaining squirrel feeder right outside the kitchen window.
Such a cutie..looks like he knows what he doing!!
These squirrels really know their way around bird feeders :)
I understand that the black squirels are a color phase of eastern grays and I noticed the tail of one of your squirrels has some gray showing.
Nice shots Tom!
He is a busy fellow. He has a beautiful coat.
The answers below did surprise me!
I think he thought your bird feeder was a jungle gym - lol! Cute!
Your Black Squirrels are pretty cute.Isn't raiding bird feeders what squirrels do naturally?
Blessings,Ruth
Cute post, Tom.
You know I enjoyed those black squirrels.
Fishing Guy, surely I've enjoyed these nice pictures of the black squirrel! Excellent the close-up too!
I have the most wonderful pictures of black squirrels which someone sent me Tom. I am using one of them for a screen saver. I like these too but I prefer mine. :)
Sheesh, those little guys are persistent, aren't they...?
Yes, I don't think I have seen them around here as well. They are cute.
They really do have such a unique personality to them and I would be in awe to see them running around here!
Great post!
Hey what a wonderful shot FG, I have never seen a all black squirrel and I'm fascinated :D
I never get tired of seeing your black squirrels-I'm just amazed by them!
fun to see these little beauties. They can indeed be quite entertaining!
Squirrels are far too clever, and far too bold, if you ask me! But so much fun to watch. We live near a woodland where red squirrels still survive, but I've never seen one; they're being pushed out by grey squirrels. Black squirrels I've never seen, so I loved this post and your photos!
Strange to see a black squirel FG. I had a couple of albino's in my area a few years back, hopefully I will see, and photograph one again.
I don't think I've ever seen a black squirrel. Ours is always grey.
Black squirrels have started to appear in the UK. Never seen one. I do think they look so cheeky.
Your black squirrels behave as well as our brown squirrels behave. You got great pictures however.
Wonderful photos! They look so soft! When in September is the festival? I hope to back over in Ohio that month :-)
He is so beautiful (or she?!?) I have never seen a black squirrel before. They have such capacity for fun as an animal. Lovely pictures.
These black ones are even more interesting than the grey squirrels, they seem to have personality.
Sqirrels are a hoot.
