When I was a kid, Eastern Gray Squirrels were common, and they were "gray" in coloration. Now, my yard is visited by numerous "black" squirrels; none are gray. But, here is an Eastern Gray Squirrel ( Sciurrus carolinensis) that is black with a gray tail.
Black squirrels are genetically mutated, "melaninstic" morphs of Eastern Gray Squirrels.
This squirrel is trying to dig in the turf to hide this apple. Some neighbor apparently feeds squirrels household scraps. Frequently, squirrels run through my yard with slices of bread, fruit, and even a piece of pizza. It's a kind-hearted neighbor who might inadvertently encourage other vermin, like flies and rats.
This was pretty well the last shot of the day in waning light. I particularly like going for these late ones.

Bird Species (# 528) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
On this trip to Uganda we used Ngoni Safaris Uganda. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.

Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are not the showiest of birds, but are fun to watch in Springtime, when they are singing, and nesting.
Most male songbirds are distinctly more flashy than their mates, and do all of the singing. Male and female Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are very similar in appearance, but the male has a blackish, thin eyebrow, which distinguishes it from the female. (The one in the picture is a female.)
They are fairly common in SE Michigan in spring and summer. This one was seen in Colorado at Roxborough State Park.
Two more looks at this beautiful Owl. I have learned a few things about this individual and his travels since my last post and I will put together a photo story about his journey to here and his contact with humans.

The Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) is a species of butterflies common in almost entire North America and is very common throughout their range. Color and Appearance: When the wings are open, the dorsal side displays a bright blue-gray coloration with a large red spot near the ends. When the wings are closed, the color of the ventral side during spring and fall is dark gray, while during summer, the color turns paler. The white postmedian line is relatively straight with an orange border on the inside edge. Each of the hind wings has a small tail-like protrusion that, by adaptation, looks almost like the antenna, while they render a head-like appearance on the wingtip in order to confuse predators. When the wings are closed, the ventral side shows a similar appearance as the dorsal. The female butterflies are relatively pale and shorter than the males.

It was nice to have multiple butterfly species on the butterfly milkweed this year including some nice gray coppers....

Blue-gray gnatcatchers are, without a doubt, one of the most special and entertaining birds the US has to offer. With a pretty sky-blue back contrasting with a paler shade of blue, along with white and black, they boast what I think is one of the more underrated color combinations when it comes to Neotropical migrants, and I’m sure they know it because they sure like to flip those tails around (kidding, that’s a foraging technique). That isn’t the only thing about them that’s underrated; males are pretty great songsters too, emitting an intricate series of what is both their own little babbles and little phrases of other species songs. I even found yesterday that they are able to mimic new vocalizations on the spot. Unfortunately, these guys have the luck of returning earlier than the warblers, and they only get two weeks of fame before what many people consider the real show falls upon our forests. That’s okay, though- they get right to pairing up and nest-building and have fledged young by the end of June, so I think they couldn’t care less about how much attention we pay to them.
The eastern gray squirrel is a bushy-tailed member of the rodent family. They have grayish-brown fur with paler fur on their undersides. The tail often has silvery-tipped hairs at the end. Eastern gray squirrels can grow 17 to 20 inches long. Florida is home to two other species of squirrels, the fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) and the southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans).
Eastern gray squirrels occur in woodland and urban areas, especially near oaks and hickories, and are active during the day, often feeding on the ground. They spend much of their lives in trees.
The eastern gray squirrel hoards food in numerous places for later recovery. They have the ability to recall the location of thousands of food caches. Preferred foods include bark, berries, seeds and acorns.
Breeding can occur up to twice a year. Nests are made in the forks of trees, but they will nest in attics when accessible, becoming a nuisance to many homeowners. Litter size averages one to four young.
Of the 94 species of wild mammals that are native to Florida, none are more frequently encountered than squirrels. Squirrels belong to the most successful and widespread order in the world, rodents. One of the main differences between squirrels and most other rodents is that squirrels have a rather large, bushy tail.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
Gray wolves are social animals, living together in tightly organized packs. Though known as gray wolves, fur color can range from white to shades of gray, brown and black. The gray wolf is federally designated as threatened in Minnesota and endangered in the remaining lower 48 states and Mexico.
