Southern Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger niger)

I live in Summerville, South Carolina and seeing one of these is a treat. They are rare in my parts. Birding at Brookgreen Gardens I couldn't believe how many they had. They are plentiful to say the least.

The only Fox squirrels I have seen were all black with white ear tips and they sure are different from our grey squirrels. Nicely captured Danny!

KC when we were leaving I saw an all black one with a white tip on his tail. Yes, I tried to photograph him but he was too fast for me. lol
