A number of factors converged last year to impact the Annual Squirrel Count. The Director of the White Squirrel Research Institute developed a condition preventing him from participating and the administration of the Heart of Brevard changed hands several times requiring resources to focus on higher priority items. Only 6 (of 35) Sectors were completed with a percent white of 44.5. While this is consistant with the trend observed in the previous 15 years (see post “Overview of Findings”, the small sample size precludes including this years numbers in any kind of formal analysis. We will try again next Fall. If you think you might be willing to participate, don’t wait until then. Call the White Squirrel Institute at 828.548.0491 and leave your name and contact information. We will get back to you.
Your squirrels are spreading! I live in Cary, NC in a small townhome development — Twin Oak Villas, off of Kildaire Farms Road. Our property is heavily wooded and we have a very active squirrel population. This Spring (2013) we have seen one white (not albino) squirrel trying to fit in…….Don’t know if there’s a mate……
I spotted a white squirrel in Lebanon OH today!
We spotted a white squirrel today in Downtown Pensacola Florida!!:)
I saw a white squirrel in Mendota Heights, MN yesterday!
We observed at least (2) individual white squirrels in Wakulla County Florida at the Wildwood Golf Course on Hwy 98 in Crawfordville. Though wild, they were golf course squirrels and not particularly afraid of us in our cart.
I have been able to get some good images of your squirrels. I also have a few good shots of the dozen or so that live in Hollywood, GA. Here is the link to those images:
