Wellesley Island State Park Black Squirrel On Log

Black color morph of the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) stands alert on a weathered fallen log at Wellesley Island State Park, Fineview, New York. Its dark fur shows subtle brown highlights along the flanks and a thick, bushy tail curled upward, contrasting sharply against the surrounding greenery. Soft diffused forest light illuminates the squirrel while the background dissolves into a blur of bright green grass, ferns, and scattered leaf litter. The subject sits in the lower-left third of the frame in profile, the decaying gray log providing rough texture beneath it and a natural perch within the Thousand Islands woodland.
