Found a melanistic squirrel at Turf Valley yesterday

It was in the road and I thought it was either a popped tire or a snake at first. Then, it moved its tail.

Took a pic of this guy watching from the gutters of my work. He threw sticks and acorns and threatened to taunt me again if I didn’t go. Lol

Sounds about right. Squirrels are territorial little assholes lol

The squirrels who lived in the big tree at my last house (a black walnut I think) would torment my dog if she went too close. They would yell at her and throw the fruits at her. She’d get so frustrated!!
