I was up in the wash this morning stacking up a few river rocks to divert flash flood water around the little burm that our contractor constructed to protect the RV pull-through when the monsoons come. When I was up there, a very small (six inches in length) ground squirrel stood up to beg for a handout (I think). It was a bold little so-and-so, standing on hind legs about four feet away. I took a photo of it and got back to work. Click on the image to enlarge.
