We have one that runs around the campus at Brockport. But, ours is half white and half grey. Never seen a completely white one before.
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

I remember when I first saw a black one in Syracuse 8 or so years back. I was fascinated. They have now since worked their way to Rochester.

The squirrels of NYC act more like outdoor pets than wildlife. Hand-fed and constantly curious, my favorite memory was of a squirrel climbing back and forth across a man's shoulders as he ate a sandwich on a park bench. It tugged on his sleeve and poked around his backpack looking for any snacks. And I hadn't brought my camera that day. :roll:

Still trying to capture this guy in the snow. He is shy and doesn't cooperate with me.

This one is just sad. Not sure what happened but it doesn't look good.
