Nikon 1 V3 for Walkabout Wildlife | Black Squirrel Black Squirrels are not as common as Gray Squirrels around the Midwest. This guy was busy, busy getting ready for the winter ahead. Although Black Squirrels are fairly common in parts of the Midwest, I rarely see them except when hiking in Michigan. The Black Squirrel is subgroup of both the eastern gray squirrel and the fox squirrel. The population of black squirrels is relatively small causing many people to admire them.

Black Squirrel Although Black Squirrels are common in the midwest, there are none in my area or along my most regular walkabouts. So, whenever I get a chance to capture an image in my travels, I take it. This image appeared to my along a walkabout in a state park in Michigan.
A Blank Squirrel looks great against new fallen snow. We need snow real soon.
Black/Gray Squirrel This little critter may be a cross between a black and a gray squirrel. He’s a cute little guy, but not all black and not all gray. Clearly, he’s not afraid of people since he posed for a while; like his own personal photo op.
This Black Squirrel appears to be hard at work preparing for winter.
