Least Chipmunk
I think this is a Least Chipmunk (Tamias minimus) but please correct me if I have the id wrong. We saw lots of these little creatures and similar looking Ground Squirrels (without the stripey head). It's actually illegal to feed the wildlife but nobody told these little creatures and they will stand on their hind legs and beg for food from visitors. This one was seen near the top of the Blackcomb chairlift, above Whistler village. The white backdrop, is snow on the mountain behind.
