I'm pretty sure it's a Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteen-lined_ground_squirrel
Then must be a kind of mice...
No... beavers are much bigger than this guy. He's about the size of my hand, and had next to no tail. Sorry it's blurry, he kept moving!
Can it be a Beaver..? Picture is not clear.
