While in Brevard, NC we found on the college campus only, white squirrels. The college was like a sanctuary for them since we didn't see any elsewhere.

It is probably a very light phase of a grey squirrel. Don't know for sure, but that would be my guess.

I'm sure they like the college campus as everyone feeds them. In fact, this squirrel is eating part of my breakfast bar. Thanks for the comments.

There are at least 3 or 4 different places across the US that the white squirrls live. One in Mo. I have seen them on many occasions. And no they are not an albino.

I've heard the "black squirrel" is aggressive? Never really researched them as I have the other's. Maybe a new assignment!!!

Humm, a lady friend of mine lives in Ontario, Canada. Said she was attacked by a few of them! Said they just jumped from a tree branch down on her and started scratching and trying to bite her... I know the photographs she send didn't look to pleasing.

Don't know how common they are...but they're fascinating and attention-grabbers. Here's one I got in my backyard, in Salem OR, back in 2009. This was a quickie, through my livingroom window, not nearly as sharp as I wished.
