White Squirrel

[momofmany]

This cute lil guy has been a frequent visitor to my Saint Marys Co. backyard deck bird feeder area over the past several months-white squirrel. Has anyone else seen these in Southern Md?

I’ve got a friend who has one in his neighborhood.

Cute! I just saw an opossum in my yard.

I can't see his eyes. Are they red? Albino? Or just white? Never saw an all white one before. Very cool.

No to red eyes.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Very neat! Uncommon, but not unheard of and there's a guy who tracks sightings across the US:

The White and Albino Squirrel Phenomenon + New US Maps!

Beautiful. I have never seen one. I showed the pic to my hub. He has hunted all over the US, and said the only other one he has seen was years ago in CO. He has never killed a squirrel, though. Thanks for posting.

The white ones taste just like chicken.

Yes ... in the past 15 yrs we have had a couple of White Squirrels and one Black one .... in addition to the normal gray units

Is he a White Sciuridaeist?

Dear Democrats, is this racist?

Many years ago I used to work at the Old Soldiers Home in NW, DC (now named The Armed Forces Retirement Home). There were tons of squirrels on the grounds there. Many of the squirrels were black - probably about as plentiful as the gray ones. There were also several white ones running around.

Recently, I have seen at least 2 black squirrels in my backyard in Owings, but no white ones.

Gentrification will bring the white ones back.

Never seen a white one but do have black squirrels on my property.

I saw an albino squirrel a couple times about 20 years ago at Calvert Road Park in College Park (at Campus Dr and Kenilworth Ave). One time I was parked there and rolled my window down to see him better and he came right up to my car expecting a handout. I was really surprised at how bold he was. I knew he was an albino since he had pink eyes and pink toenails/claws.

My eyes were pretty red this morning. Does that mean I'm turning in to an albino?

What a let down. I thought that Jefferson Starship had cut a new album.

I worked there occasionally too. I ran a cable trouble from the main quarters through the govt manholes on the grounds to the grounds keepers quarters and one little squirrel followed me the whole time. Must have thought I was the biggest nut he ever saw!

I had one a few years ago in my yard in the 7thD. Came to the bird feeder every day around 8am. Miss seeing him...
