Bill, 
 
It's odd that the blacks act so differently in your area. They really aren't a different species of squirrel, they're usually just a melanistic color phase of the local population. On the Eastern Shore they have an oddball squirrel species that's dark colored but I believe the mainland ones are just standard.
