Casper – I Fear Has Crossed Over

I have been looking for Casper the Albino Squirrel all spring and have not seen him. Above – is one of my last photos of him taken in October of 2017.

I have been watching and photographing him for approximately 6 years.

Return of the Albino

Rumor has it that “a neighbor” shot and killed him. Why would anyone shoot and kill and old albino squirrel? I keep hoping that this is just a rumor, and that Casper will be seen again. I miss seeing him so much. About a decade before – one of his ancestors frequented my parents’ yard. I am hoping if Casper has crossed over that his genes are still out there, and we may see another albino squirrel in the near future.
