Uinta Ground Squirrels of Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge
Uinta Ground Squirrels are the most plentiful mammals I see during the summer months in the Centennial Valley.

Time got away from me today and I am feeling a little squirrely tonight so I thought what better to post than an Eastern Gray Squirrel?
Even though Uinta Ground Squirrels are called pests, vermin and varmints by some people I happen to like them a lot as photographic subjects.
Every time I see this image of this Richardson's Ground Squirrel I have to laugh because of how full its mouth is.
Earlier this week I was enthralled to see the Alaska Basin that straddles Idaho and Montana and winds through Beaverhead National Forest and Targhee National Forest.
Farmers don't like Richardson's Ground Squirrels much, they dig holes that could break the legs on livestock and eat grains and the shoots of plants, I can understand those concerns. But I have to say... I love them, they are fun to watch and photograph.
