The Climbing Gopher

25 May 2014 3 5 201
I have never seen a gopher climb up into the brush like this before. I guess he thinks he's a squirrel! I'm calling him a "gopher" because he didn't appear to have a bushy tail, as I saw when he finally ran off. Toiyabe Range, central Nevada, USA.

Golden mantled ground squirrel

20 Jul 2014 1 187
Callospermophilus lateralis . Spooner Lake State Park, Nevada, just off US 50 at the crest of the Carson Range on the way to Lake Tahoe. These rodents are often confused with chipmunks, but are larger and the stripes don't continue onto the face. There were a number of these guys around the picnic tables--you got the feeling that they may have gotten used to handouts!
