Ground Squirrel Ungrounded

This little Mexican Ground Squirrel put on a good show at Laguna Seca Ranch.  It was very cool to see him climb one of the perches and then come get a drink out of the pond.

    Beautiful. Looks like it’s pretending to be the captain of the ship in the second one.

    Thanks Lyle. We were all surprised when he started climbing the stick. He was a nice change of pace from the bird action.
