Today I was lucky to find a few Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels running about in Calico Basin. I saw none at the Red Rock Overlook which is kind of odd. I have several more photos of these cuties to upload. 😎

I’m sure that’s a rabbit!
It’s a baby rabbit! It’s ears haven’t unfolded yet. 😂
What a great capture john. I love how his fur matches the background. As if he was just sitting for a photo shoot but I well know its not so easy to photography wild animals.
Thanks! These little critters are hard to get a good photo of as they flit about like a Chickadee! I have a few more photos of them to upload. Took too many photos again!
He is a cutie!!
Thanks Donna, he was scurrying about digging little holes apparently looking for something to eat. 🥰
So cute!
Aren’t they just sooooo darn cute Sandra! More photos of them coming. Similar to a Chipmunk but not a Chipmunk. Highly adapted to this harsh, dry desert. 🥰🌵🌴🔥🌞
