White Squirrels in Miller's Grove Park - Olney, Illinois - July 28th, 2019 A few months ago, I learned about the white squirrels in Olney, Illinois.  This Southern Illinois city has one of the notable populations of white or albino squirrels.  They are albinos because they have the red tint in their eyes.  It was recommended that I get to Miller's Grove Park (north of the city) to see more white squirrels.  I did see one while I was there on the morning of Sunday July 28th, 2019.  So if you are thinking about Squirrel Tourism - make sure Olney, Illinois is on your list.  Taken in Olney, Illinois on July 28th, 2019.
