--Apple-Mail-54--406778558 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; delsp=yes; format=flowed Thanks, Jon! from Jim et al. Jon, your small black squirrel could =20 have been a melanistic red squirrel, which is reported from time to =20 time but not often. Or, more likely?, it was a black morph of a grey/=20= gray squirrel, which seems to be distributed in small numbers in many =20= of the Valley towns, plus a provincial park near Kingston (Clairmont =20 Prov.
