Anyone seen a black chipmunk?

I'm trying to see how common (it's not) a black chipmunk is. Depending on what website you read, it is either "seen with some frequency" to "rarely seen". It may depend on where you live as well.

In all the years I've seen chipmunks in the field, this is the first black chipmunk seen. Photographed with a Canon 40D and 70-200 2.8L + TC 1.4x.

Have you ever seen a black chipmunk?

I'd be selling the image to a few different markets. That's very unique.

Now that the location is well known, photos of this black chipmunk are dime a dozen

Thanks all. Story on the black chipmunk can be read here:
