Columbian Ground Squirrels
Ranchland County, AB
Yup that is yesterday and yup that is snow! Might be a heat wave out east but definitely not here. Several inches of snow fell all along the southern foothills yesterday which is actually needed given the dry conditions. Made it easy to see these ground squirrels, a Mom, who is barking at me and her two pups who came out of their burrow to see what all the fuss was about. Not at all what I was looking for but it was funny seeing all of these squirrels so very visible in the white snow. Spring time in Alberta is never dull and to think the summer solstice is only a day away!
