How rare is it to see a Piebald Red Squirrel? Very rare indeed. David Johnson spent a long career working outdoors for the Minnesota Department of Natural DNR, has lived in the county his whole life, and was shocked to see one. 'I couldn't believe what I was seeing,” he said. Johnson said the illusive squirrel kept running and hopping from branch to branch.“I spent 30 minutes chasing it before I got a good picture,' he said. So, what does piebald mean? According to Wikipedia, a piebald animal 'has a pattern of pigmented spots on a pigmented background of hair, feathers or scales.' Photo courtesy of David Johnson
