When I consulted Nelson’s white squirrel tracker for a recent day — April 10, 2019 — I learned there were reports of 13 white squirrels, from Brownsboro, Ala., to St. Paul, Minn. This white squirrel database isn’t the most scientific project in the world. (John Kelly/The Washington Post)A white squirrel can either be a pigmentless albino — pink eyes are the clue — or what’s called a white morph. To a hawk, coyote or other hungry animal, a white squirrel might as well have a target painted on its back. Then another: a trio of white squirrels blocks from the White House.
