Wildlife: A White-tailed Squirrel?, 1 by GoldenDomer

It sure does. It appears like it's simply a different specie of squirrel than I've ever seen before (or can quickly ID with Google). It is gray with a bright white underbelly and tail. It is somewhat smaller bodied than my pictured "pet" squirrels, and unlike them -- extraordinarily wary! It took me over a hour of hard work this morning just to get these two fuzzy partial pics.

I'm posting them as is because they prove that when I said it had a white tail, I meant it had a WHITE tail. This sub par 2 pic stack could be titled "Heads or Tails"

Now that this pretty and elusive critter is #1 on my photo list, I feel it's just a matter of time before I should be able to post pics adequate enough, at least, for a specific ID.

In the meantime, may a squirrel expert stumble across this thread.

P.S. I'll be off line 'til late today because I have garden chores that can't wait.
