We have some black squirrels in my area (PA), but as others have already stated - they are just gray squirrels with black fur. (Some are actually a very dark brown - almost black, but look black from a distance...)
However, I was vacationing in Ontario a few years back and I saw black squirrels up there. They did not look the same as our gray/black local squirrels. They looked a tiny bit bigger, had taller ears, and seemed more spastic. |

Here in Connecticut it grey's all the way with an albino mixed in every so often.

I've seen albinos here too, but very few ! Black squirrels are much more common (although neither are "common").

Destry,
When we lived on the Eastern Shore ( Chestertown) we saw them fairly frequently and they were protected at the time-----Delmarva Fox Squirrels ! Lots of "pintos". |

Hunting the wiley grouse in Montmorency, Oscoda and Ogama Counties, MI, I have come across many small (smaller than local foxies) black squirrels and no other kind. They also have huge white bunnies, dang near as big as the dog; always carry a couple rounds of #3 buck in case of a charge.
