Nuisance wildlife

[contender]

I had a call about a nuisance squirrel. Here he is.

 

[Stoots]

Cool!

The sun must have "bleached" him. :wink:

 

[contender]

Local color phase, not bleached. Two local counties have a bunch of them. Even Brevard has a white squirrel festival annually.

 

[Sheriff]

That's an unusual color phase w/o being an albino. Thanks for sharin'!

 

[Quarterbore]

How much is a non-resident small game license down there? :wink:

I have never seen a white squirel up here in PA but some counties of PA have a lot of black phase grey squirels. I have yet to get one of them either but I have seen them, normally where I can't hunt them. There is one I see quite often in Valley Forge Park while we are on bike rides, I think he enjoys taunting me but I have been trying to "catch him" with the camera without luck so far.

I have seen plenty of those in Flat Rock.

Very neat! Saw lots of black ones in Kingston Ontario, and Toronto- thinking about a grey squirrel hat trick, one white, one grey, one black- any other colors?

 

[KWYJIBO]

What was he doing to be such a nuisance?

Yeah, I want to know what trouble this little guy was causing! Looks too tiny to be that much of a nuisance!

Nice picture.

Bet he is still standing on that cypress right now.

 

[BearStopper]

Was he/she accused of more than just being ugly?

 

[contender]

This girl is normal gray squirrel size. She was very liberal in that she expected free housing provided by a taxpayer. The taxpayer wanted her evicted, permanently. Tek4260 figured it out,, except she's mounted on locust wood.
I just got her back from my taxidermist.
And smokingun, yep, Flatrock, Etowah, Brevard etc,, all around those areas, it's kinda common to see them.

Now that's funny.

We just in the last few years have been invaded with gray squirrels and there are just about as many black faze as there are gray. Sure would like to see a white one in the wild.

Nice little white tree rat!

In a part of St Paul MN, Highland park, the local grey squirrels have developed into a substantial colony of white squirrels. I asked my Dad about it when he was alive and he said they were there when he was a boy in the 1920's - he had remembered seeing them as a child. He was born in 1915.

Quite extraordinary to see them running around on the big old trees.
