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. Park).  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
