Don’t know if that is true…but this is from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_squirrel – plus I’ve lived in Virginia since 1977 and never seen a red winged black bird (naked eye) – though I saw them all the time growing up in rural Baltimore County. Good catch.

In my old DC neighborhood, it seemed like there was a 50/50 mix, but here in Alexandria they are more rare.

Great photos. I’ve never stopped at that Park to take a look.

I’ll have to check those out. I haven’t been around too much in the area. Also, do you know if those black squirrels are still the typical gray species?
