Title: Black Squirrels
Post by: jay on September 20, 2010, 02:08:44 PM
Are there any black squirrels in your neighborhood?

Have you seen any black squirrels in other parts of the city of Youngstown?

Please list the area of your observation.

Here's a picture of a Black Squirrl for those of us who never saw one.

I haven't seen any around here.  Are they migrating from Kent? (I saw lots of black squirrels at KSU)

QuoteIn the United States, the city of Kent, Ohio  has a significant black squirrel population, after 10 were legally imported from Canada in February 1961. They have driven out native squirrels in many areas, though they peacefully coexist with most other rodent wildlife.

There are many black squirrels in Canfield.
I saw one in Austintown last year.

I saw a black squirrel on the west side of Youngstown last week.

I have not seen any of them here on the north side yet.  We have many trees and squirrels but no black ones yet.
