I would see this squirrel from time to time in my parents’ neighborhood about two years ago. I was always struck by its crimson tail. I remember being very young and all squirrels were just gray. When I started to get a little older, I noticed the odd black squirrel every now and then. By the time I was fully grown, black squirrels seemed to be just as common as gray ones. And now apparently there’s the odd squirrel with a red tail. Makes me wonder if in 30 years a child will have grown to notice the odd calico squirrel.
