Some Local Wildlife

This is one of the curious residents near our subdivision. He seemed to think I might be bringing some apples for him to eat.

The horses (there are 6 of them) show up often in the pasture next to our subdivision, but the white squirrel who also appeared today was a total surprise. 

I had just left the horse pasture, and was cutting through the wooded area to get back to our main subdivision roads, and suddenly this White Squirrel appeared. I had seen the white squirrels in the Brevard area, and occasionally in the Mills River area, but I had never seen one east of downtown Hendersonville. Yet here he was, burying his acorns in the dirt.

I heard that the white squirrels were part of a traveling circus, and when it was in Brevard, they escaped. It seems that they have thrived here.
