I suppose your tired of seeing these adorable tiny squirrels in this space but I just love them! Always zipping about, turning over the dirt hunting for whatever they can find to eat. In this case, someone had tossed a bit of bird seed or whatever it is out there for them. I think peanuts are a no-no for them though if I recall correctly. These photos are heavily cropped but still held together.
They have you pegged as a softy. They don’t seem to fear you at all! Cute!
Thanks, in real life I am a gentle man who wants to help, never hurt people. Certainly not these little friends! They make me feel so happy inside!
They are adorable and it sounds like they are good judges of character!
Squirrels eat nuts, don’t they? Now, I have to look up the peanut question.
I suppose these guys have to have a varied diet due to where they live, just a guess. People feed them peanuts, I’ve watched them eat them…
Chipmunks? Cute.
Good morning, Annelli. They are called Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels. Love this little cuties!

They’re so sweet. They look a lot like our chipmunks with the side stripes.
Indeed. Apparently there’s just enough genetic difference…
Once I checked out your link I could see they were different. Thanks.
Your welcome!! 😎
