Excellent shots of this little begger. When I lived in Washington State we had them around. Cute little guys!

Funny, we always called these chipmunks. What's the difference?

Chipmunks have facial stripes for one thing.

Thanks folks for comments!

CousinMadness, Golden mantled squirrels look like chipmunks, but the chipmunks are generally a little smaller, and have the stripe across their face. But, you're right, you never know if they mess around with ground squirrels, it's all possible... :lol:
