Columbian Ground Squirrel

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick

Columbian Ground Squirrel, Canada

Columbian Ground Squirrel, Canada
The Columbian ground squirrel can be found in Canada in eastern British Columbia and Western Alberta. In the United States, it can be found in eastern Oregon and Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana.

This friendly fellow was photographed in Mount Revelstoke National Park, British Columbia, Canada. We are on top of Mt. Revelstoke after an 18 mile drive up to a very beautiful Alpine setting. There are many trails, small lakes and meadows full of wildflowers in full bloom in August. A must see if you are in the area.
Have a Great Day

Cute little squirrel, although my guess is he can do some serious damage. Love the touches of red!

I don't think I have ever seen a photo of one of these little guys. Neat capture. Well composed. Q: Does he have a tail or is it just out of sight?

I don't think I've ever seen one of this, Denny!! If it weren't for the tail, he almost looks more like a gopher with a thicker shorter body!! Awesome capture! Love the splash of red in the fg! Great detail and color!!

Thanks for the wonderful comments! I think these guys probably have a pretty extensive underground system but very little shows above ground. They are covered with snow much of the year.
