Black bears are omnivores. I doubt that in most situations that they would expend the energy to specifically target a squirrel. Black Bears (like most creatures) must balance the potential nutritional intake vs. the calorie expenditure to pursue the meal. If presented and easy opportunity, I feel strongly that a black bear would eat a squirrel. I have witnessed bears eating berries & nuts, but also have witnessed black bears eating another black bear so squirrel would definitely be on the menu.
