Alarm, alarm, alarm!

California Ground Squirrel screamed

an alarm call and went on for a good half an hour. The cause of the alarm was people going into "its" field to harvest the plants. As we walked by, at least twenty squirrels ran from the field. This one took up a post on a dried plant and started to scream an alarm call. What interested me was how sharp its teeth were! I used a blue filter on the background because it blended so nicely with its surroundings and I wanted more of a contrast.
