Have you seen a black chipmunk?

I've seen my share of chipmunks over the years. Cute, cuddly and easily identified in the field. This is the first year I've seen a black chipmunk.

There are roughly 12 chipmunks at this one location. Only one is black. I have noticed that some of the other chipmunks do tend to chase it away.

I am wondering if anyone else has seen a black chipmunk? Thanks.
