White Tail... the Squirrel




We have had a variety of different squirrels through the years, but one of our favorites has been a squirrel we nicknamed "White Tail." He lived in this area for some time and visited our feeders frequently. He also produced quite a few offspring who also sported white tails and noses! As you can see, "White Tail" is somewhat of a hero. This quiet, unassuming little squirrel is patriotic and willing to defend his country in Iraq. But maybe he is not all that he appears to be...

Our daughter, Peggy, is good with photoshop... but "White Tail" really is a white-tailed squirrel... no Photoshop there! He is a natural White Tail!! Actually the neighbors tell us that there have been white tailed squirrels in this area for many years.

We have a white tailed squirrel too. Do you know what causes them to have a white tail? Do you know how common they are?
