California Ground Squirrel

Field Notes
Habitat:
I saw this spotting in the Heather farm wild life reserve. I was taking a walk by the pond and i saw it peeking out from a hole in the ground.It made a few attempts to come out but fell right in. Looks like a baby squirrel trying to crawl out of the hole!
Notes:
Feedback from Bay area,
Bay Nature Institute I'm by no means a squirrel expert, Hema, but noting the alert posture, it might very well be the California Ground Squirrel's smaller cousin the Belding, which may be found in Sierra burrows and pricks its ears for signs of trouble. So even non-Bay Area squirrels know about the impending end of our Holiday Special! Happy New Yea
