Unusual gray squirrel

[Bowmannate2000]

We have this gray squirrel in our neighborhood this spring. It is dark brown/black with a cinnamon tail. I don't think I've seen one like this before. There is another normal gray with the same red tail as well. We have quite a few all black ones around as well as the normal grays. Thought it was pretty interesting. Hoping we can get a better picture with my wife's DSLR.

Looks like a fox squirrel and a black squirrel had babies. Pretty squirrel all in all.

sun bleached tail = surfer squirrel named Chad

Must have heard him wrong, I thought he told me “Chaz”… Either way, he told me he’d let his buddies know to quit chattering at me when I’m sneakin through the elk woods…

Maybe Bodie?

Didn’t he play on the movie Point Break

He's still feeling quite at home in our yard. Still need to get a picture with a better camera, but I pulled in the driveway after work last night and snapped this.

We have a local state park that is loaded with black squirrels, I see ones like this fairly often.

Probably melanistic.
