Black squirrel
The squirrel is climbing a cross piece that stabilizes one of the legs on a rustic cedar fence along a conservation trail.
Sitting on the fence's top rail
Tuesday last was a wonderfully warm day, perfect for squirrels and humans to enjoy the outdoors.

I am linking to Good Fences HERE.
The squirrels around here are the fattest I have seen in many years. The one in your photos also looks like he is well feed.
ReplyDeleteThose black ones are the cutest squirrels ever. I'd love to see one someday.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few over here too but you'd be lucky to glimpse one let alone photograph it. Neat little creatures.
ReplyDeleteThis squirrel's domain.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I've ever seen a black squirrel before.
ReplyDeleteWe do not have Black Squirrels in the UK so this for me was a lovely close up capture and a lovely weathered fence to show him off.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, you did well to capture him so sharply!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is the first black squirrel I've seen. Brilliant shots!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a black squirrel either, red and grey are common here. He looks sleek.

The devious rascal looks like he or she is in good shape for the winter.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a black squirrel - he's quite dapper. And nice fence too!
ReplyDeleteWow, he is awesome. I have never seen one of those before.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little guy/gal!
I have never seen a Black Squirrel and I am delighted that you introduced us.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Lovely captures, and just my favorite kind of squirrel, next, or second best is the all white, albino ones!
ReplyDeleteHe sure was willing to pose for you!! I think the last one is my favourite!!
ReplyDeleteCute squirrel! You don't see black ones very often (certainly not where I live)
ReplyDeleteNuts!
ReplyDeleteI have seen white squirrels before, but never a black one. Very pretty!
ReplyDeletegreat shots you've taken, I've never seen a black squirrel. I so miss seeing squirrels here, the odd one isn't enough...
ReplyDeletemy goodness! healthiest looking black squirrel i've ever seen! sleek as a black cat! love these!
ReplyDeleteI do love your black squirrels, EG!! They are indeed sleek as a black cat!!! I've never seen one before and your pics are wonderful as always!!
ReplyDeleteI think he wants more than just his picture taken. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that their tails are soooo bushy this year. I hope that doesn't mean we are in for a cold winter.
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent pictures, he is posing just for you!! I love seeing them, because we have only the grey ones. I have NEVER seen a black squirrel before! He is sleek and pretty. Kind of the Darth Vader of squirrels...
ReplyDeleteWish we had some of them out this way...he is gorgeous!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteHe is a beaut! Love seeing these black squirrels. We don't see any here.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh he's adorable. I've never seen a black squirrel before but I like them. He does seem to be posing so nicely against that fence post for you.
ReplyDeleteLike Andy said, the black squirrels are quite well fed, this year. Even though they're also considered Easter Grey, I've always noticed that they usually look skinnier than the greys do. Not this year. And their tails are particularly bushy too, this year.
ReplyDeleteI love squirrels.
ReplyDeletePretty cool to see a black squirrel!
ReplyDeleteI swear I did not know black squirrels even existed until this post. I need to get out more. What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I see a black squirrel!! How cute !
ReplyDeleteSo cute. :) I always find them curious and alert.
ReplyDeleteAll scenes are worthy of photos;esp like the lone boat.
ReplyDeleteNo better fence adornment anywhere! :-) Lovely little black squirrel!
ReplyDeleteSweet pictures of this black squirrel. The rustic fence is a perfect playground for him.
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing me my first!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little one!
ReplyDeletecute :)
