Rodger, do you have the black squirrels on VI that I saw in Vancouver
itself? Beautiful!


No, but among those I've trapped and deported to a happier life
in a park have been two with significantly darker coats than
normal. (Happier because free of the psychic stress of me glaring
at them as they dig in my cyclamen beds.)

I can't tell you if the black squirrels in Vancouver are grays
gone to the dark side or some other, possibly native, species,
but if curiosity starts to drive you mad, I will find out.


LOL! Don't go to any trouble but it's just interesting to know if they
'made it over the water'! I haven't forgotten about your primrose seeds,
BTW. Last year, just as I was about to try to find some for you, the
heavens opened for several days and I couldn't find a single, viable seed
head among the 'real' primroses. They seemed to disappear as if by magic!
