It was very cold but the sun was shining, and this gray squirrel chose an exposed patch to crack open a nut.

The black phase of the gray squirrel doesn't occur in a very large area of Indiana. (Michigan has more, but this was an Indiana squirrel.)

On a walk with several good sightings, this sweet little squirrel was my favorite. I've never seen a squirrel with this much white, as I don't live in a region with white squirrels (southern Indiana). I think it's a young squirrel. I watched it for several minutes, watching for the best opportunities to take photos when its coloring was most visible. Its right side was whiter than its left side.

This gives me 13 species of mammals for the year. Now if only the raccoon, otter, or beaver would show itself, or better yet the bobcat. I'd also like a fox cooperative enough to let me take its photo--I did see one, but not a great photo!
