Taken in a park that parallels Berkeley, CA's marina. These ground squirrels look so different (especially the tails) from those we have in the midwest. They were scurrying about the rocks not bothered by any of the hikers. Filling in from my CA trip last week. Thank you for your wonderful response to my July 4th fireworks shot!
Taffy...These are California ground squirrels. They live among the man-made rocky shoreline of the Berkeley Marina. They do look different than tree squirrels, like I have in my backyard.
they are indeed different from any squirrels I have ever seen. I do like their brown coats. You caught them so well, and in a great pose which you have described wonderfully in your title.
