I have never seen a black one or a gray one in central Iowa, just the red fox squirrels. I have seen the blacks in Council bluffs. I have not seen them in eastern Iowa so if they are in Iowa City they must just be an island of them.

Come to think of it, the photo of the black squirrel in the OP does kind of have an Entitled Look on his face.

There's a town in Missouri that has white squirrels. They have special protections in at town... you can be fined if one of them runs out in the street in front of you and you hit it.
They have signs all over town. See what I'm talking about, the white squirrels are protected, but the squirrels of color are left to the wolves.

Oddly, I rarely see them anywhere but in town...

I've got more black "grey" squirrels around here than their gray cousins. Few kinda odd balls with reddish tails.

When I was a kid in east central Iowa we had nothing but the Fox squirrels as well with the Grays sticking to the big timber farther north and east. The same property now has an even mix of Grays and Fox. I used to spend a fair amount of time in Iowa City and there was a pretty large population of the black squirrels which I believe are a color phase of the Grays. I forget exactly where I saw them but I believe in the residential neighborhoods just east of downtown.

I understand it is now a common thing to see black squirrels and squirrels of other colors together, intermingling, cohabitating and often procreating.
Statistics show these are typically black male squirrels and lighter colored females which often happen to be substantially "heavier" than normal.

For just a couple hundred bucks, I could get a couple dozen signs made up, put them out during the cover of darkness in strategic locations, and cause a major uproar. May create a "FundMe page." ![[Linked Image]](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a554/cv540/squirrels/guest20151029230058300_zpsqbhsdqhd.jpg) I'd fund ya twenty bucks for one of those signs. Them black bastids make up about 30% of the squirrel population in nearby towns around here. They breed like rats and are spreading. Funny though, you don't see many, if any, outside the city limits.

They are obviously " Inner City" squirrels... Thats where the handouts are. Coincidence? I think not. Whatever you do, if you see a cop killing one , don't video it!

Judging by the color, he must be a 'Crip' heading to the store to buy some tea and skittles.....

In years past I used to see them often in Davenport. Mostly around the Leclair Park/River Drive area. While working near Council Bluffs, a buddy was jealous of their black squirrels and attempted a private transplant program. Haven't noticed any black squirrels yet in the area he released them.
