    Great captures, they're cute as long as they are not eating what I am growing.

    wow...! I like all these photos. Do the squirrel lives underground or on the trees?

    I hope they will find more food later and everyday. It must be quite challenging to find food in the desert.

    He is adorable, great shots Diane. We don't have ground squirrels in this area so it's a real treat for me to see them.

    Hi Willie, Thanks for your question. These squirrels live underground but will climb trees to eat flowers or seeds.

    oh, the first picture is so cute, looked like he was at first surprised by you, but then decided not even your presence can stop him from eating, and from one to two of them :)
