We spotted White squirrels in a parking area with a small field.

[Gary Krosin, 06/15/2022]

Kenton is a small town, so white squirrel fans can often just park where there are some trees, then wait. Helpful tip: have a bag of peanuts on hand.

We went to the intersection described with the feeder. The feeder is no longer there, but the white squirrels are. We saw one in a tree in the yard of the big house across from the empty lot.

On Maple Heights St. There is a large open area with a few big trees, just north of Taylor St., or just south of College St., where they like to play in the grass and trees.
