I saw this squirrel yesterday for the first time, he wasn’t around last year. I think this is the first time ever seeing a white squirrel in person. He is very beautiful!
He is really lovely – I have only ever seen red or grey squirrels. Our red squirrels here in Germany turn very dark brown to almost black in winter. I wonder if yours is an albino, or is there a type that is naturally white?
We don’t have the red squirrel here in the South but they have them in the northern states. I like the red squirrels and black ones too. It might be albino.
I didn’t know yall had these in Brevard. I am in the northern most mountains of SC only about a couple miles from the NC border. I love visiting Brevard, great area. 🙂
Hi Michael,
Wow! Your squirrel is beautiful and reminds me of a young one that we once found, of all places, in our laundry room! We decided that he must have somehow come in through the hole that was cut for the dryer vent. We managed to capture him and released him outside. Then we immediately started worrying about him, His coloring surely made him a target for predators. We never saw him again. Yours looks like he can take care of himself!
Thanks for your comment on my latest post. That lantern is years old. I purchased it at a local landscape supply company here in Helena. Best wishes, Deb
oh wow, never had a squirrel get into the house but that makes sense that he came thru the dryer vent hole. We have had plenty of chipmunks get into the house from our cats! Not fun or easy trying to catch a squirrel or a chipmunk! 🙂
He/she is pretty cool looking. Found out from another blogger that white squirrels are very abundant in Brevard NC which is only about a hour from our home!!
Glad you were able to capture the proof! My hubby saw a white squirrel this past winter on his drive to work but couldn’t get a photo. He was beginning to think he imagined it until one of his employees commented one day about seeing it, too.
GORGEOUS! I’ve never seen one, and I am so glad you could take these perfect shots!
Hi Sally!! 🙂

I’ve never seen a white or black one but I hope to someday. Nice shots!
thank you Allen, this is the first white one I have seen 🙂
We are used to seeing white squirrels in Brevard, NC. Didn’t know they were near you too. Well be at the White Squirrel Festival Memorial Weekend!

I live in Columbia but my parents have a home in Brevard. It is the home of the White Squirrel Festival so yes, they have plenty!
I looked up the White Squirrel Festival, looks like fun. 🙂
That is the first white squirrel I’ve ever seen. Looks like a special blessing to me 😉 E
It sure is beautiful 🙂
Never seen a white squirrel before. Must be very rare. He’s beautiful, or maybe it’s a she. 🙂
I agree it’s beautiful, saw it again today around the birdfeeder!

Wow! Didn´t know there´re white squirrels … Lovely pics!
Since seeing this squirrel I did a little research and it appears they are more common than I ever thought. 🙂
I’ve never seen a white squirrel. He is a handsome little guy! Blessings, Natalie 🙂
Albino squirrel? how cool!!
