Reason: added info
Hi Frank, Here is a picture I posted a while back. The chipmunks are the small ones and the Gold Mantle Ground Squirrels are the larger ones. (bottom right corner)
This is what we call "ground squirrels" around here. They are smaller than gray or tree squirrels, they're larger than chipmunks and they live in the ground.
Hmmm one of us is backwards and not to sure it isn't me lol Guess I better let the guy know who told me which was which which is now which (did ya understand that? LOL) We been calliing the big ones chipmunks and the small ones ground squirrels guess I better print out pics and info. I sit corrected!
Excellent pics. We have a lot of those rascals here and if we leave the front door open they'll come in the house, since the grandsons have been feeding them. Canon's a good camera, cdsieg. I use the Rebel XS, but there's much to be said for other brands too. Course where I'm at here in the middle of the Rockies it's pretty hard to take a bad pic.
