There’s so much to see there.

I didn’t get to see too much wildlife in the California desert but there was this adorable tiny ground squirrel (or chipmunk) that entertained me at my campsite for part of an afternoon. They would sit on their rock and then make a mad dash through some vegetation and grab something out of the gravel and race back to the rock and eat it like an ear of corn! I could not tell what was being eaten but it must have been pretty good. I confess, I am easily entertained and I must have spent an hour watching and photographing. I tried to figure out the species but had no luck. Maybe someone else knows?
