Dude, seriously? Li, they are all over on campus. Visit the University of Maryland next time you are out there. They are seriously like 1 to 1, compared with the greys. TBH, I didn't know they were that rare...

My aunt lives in a wooded area and when i visit i always see the black the most, then brown, then red. There are actual white squirrels in a town like an hour from me. Here is a link to the town's homepage... http://www.ci.olney.il.us/Visitors/WhiteSquirrel.htm

There is some confusion here. The common black squirrel of the forest has tufts on its ears and is considerably smaller. The squirrel featured in this article is a melanistic morph of the gray squirrel. Two black squirrels, one common, one relatively uncommon. I've never seen a melanistic gray but have seen probably hundreds of the smaller, tufted species. Either way, neat animal.
