More White Squirrel sightings


Since I've undertaken this web site, I thought it might be helpful to scout the local hotspots for white squirrel picture taking. The best place by far for me has been the southeast corner of the Brevard College campus, just off French Broad. Today I saw four of them playing there, but alas, when I was leaving I noticed one of them had been hit by a driver:( Traffic is the number one killer of these squirrels. But for the ones that remain, I left plenty of peanuts. Here's a photo of one I took today. He/she seems pretty content.

Announcing the all new WhiteSquirrels.com

Attention White Squirrel Lovers! Announcing the mother of all White Squirrel sites WhiteSquirrels.com! This site is being developed for both the White Squirrels fans from all over the world, and also for the residents of Brevard, North Carolina, the White Squirrel capital of the world. So here you will find two types of information. First and foremost, information and links about our famous squirrels. This includes links to the White Squirrel Festival, the White Squirrel Institute and to photographer Don Weiser's White Squirrel Art web sites. It will also provide information about the history of the little critters and the best places to spot them. If you check out the "Forums" link, you can post the best places to see White Squirrels, and devulge your favorite spots to see them. In the future, I hope to have a map of the downtown with the best areas for squirrel spotting highlighted for easy reference. For now we will just have to post the locations by name and/or street address.

There's also a link to our new football team, the Brevard Tornados (a.k.a. The Fighting White Squirrels) They even have a White Squirrel as the team mascot. If there's anything you would like to see added to this site, please let me know. I'll try my best to keep everyone posted on all things White Squirrel and all things Brevard, North Carolina.
