Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel - Sequoia 3478

            I diddled with software for well over an hour to get rid of the lodge overhang. Pixel by pixel. And then it dawned on me that I have neither the patience nor the skill nor the inclination nor the software to do it well enough. It may be why I've held back for a decade! But he's too cute to leave in an archive. 

This guy was on a boulder outside the Wuksachi Lodge at Sequoia NP, either begging or preaching. From the looks of him, his sermons have produced the effect he desired. 

He's a Golden-mantled ground squirrel, a little larger than most chipmunk species I've seen in the west. You can tell he's not a chipmunk by the absence of stripes on the head. (Did I get that right, Gerry?) I think that chipmunks might also have longer snouts than GMGS. But, he's as cute and fast as any species.
