Eighteen Canadian black squirrels were released many years ago in the National Zoological Park in Northwest DC. This was during TR's administration. About three years ago, we saw the first ones in upper Montgomery County, MD, about 38 miles straight north of the Zoo. Now they are firmly entrenched here. They are inbred with Greys, some being a grey black combination, some being jet black. My Wirehair hates the blacks with a passion, not so much the greys. There is a website locally that invites comments about sightings. The blacks are very agressive and from time to time, seem to run the greys off the property, but they manage to come back. Right now, in my yard, there is a mix of the two with one beautiful big solid black.
