Albino  Squirrel
in  the 'hood 
Oct 29, 2015 
...
 the  second  albino squirrel
that  has been  in our  yard
...
the first one spotted in  2009
and  moved about so quickly 
I seldom got a non blurry shot
..
sadly he/ she  became the  meal 
for one of  the resident hawks
..
genetic abberations  of  the
eastern gray  squirrel  produce 
the rare  albino squirrel
( denoted by pink eyes )
..  
the  white morph  squirrel
not a true albino..
doesn't have  pink eyes 
and results from a 
different genetic abberation
