So I grabbed a different lens and took a closer look…

(I guess I knew raccoons climbed trees, but somehow was shocked at how very high she had gone! Seems like mammals should be closer to ground level:):)

Gloria's Critters: My first white squirrel (and a Douglas Squirrel, at that!)!!

Pretty exciting, and such an enchanting little creature. I just hope Snowball doesn't stand out in a crowd where predators lurk...

Snowball does not have albinism, but instead leucism, which is a partial loss of the animal's pigmentation. I've seen several leucistic birds where the condition can cause just white patches, or more, as in Snowball's case. (No red/pink eyes, though, as there are in albinos.) The internet says a white squirrel is a rare thing.
