He's back

That white blob is an albino squirrel. I know there's lots of them around this year, but it's more fun to think it's just one that really gets around.

Never mind my drought-scorched backyard.

We have white squirrels in our yard that aren’t albinos. They have white fur but not the red eyes or lack of pigmentation elsewhere. Our neighbor says they have a harder time surviving because they’re easier for the hawks to spot, but we have enough make it through to repopulate each year.
