Our squirrely friend seems to be doing some spring maintenance. Gotta get that nest in order for the ladies.

Those black squirrels are so cute! Thanks for sharing.
That squirrel’s got the bushiest mustache
What a dark-colored squirrel. Are they all like that up there?
Not sure exactly where in the Great Lakes region OP is, but I can report that the Toronto area has a mix of grey, jet black, and dark brown squirrels. All three are the same species, just different phenotypes.
We have a variety of squirrels here. This one is part of the eastern gray squirrel species. We also have fox squirrels, American red squirrels, Northern flying squirrels, Eastern chipmunks, thirteen-lined ground squirrels, and woodchucks.
