California Ground Squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi)Observer
yana119Description
Ground squirrels are often all over the beach at Carlsbad, California. But right now, there are many more because their regular source of food on the hillside was eradicated by glyphosates in a program that was probably designed to replant the area with indigenous species. The squirrels are eating kelp on the sand.
