A Focus In the Wild » Gophers http://www.staceyhuston.com Stacey Huston, Wildlife Photographer Fri, 03 Sep 2010 04:00:54 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Fur~ http://www.staceyhuston.com/2010/07/fur/ http://www.staceyhuston.com/2010/07/fur/#comments Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:32:59 +0000 stacey http://www.staceyhuston.com/?p=1004 Finally got a photograph of a wild animal down here on the beach that has FUR on it.. I know you are getting tired of all the birds, but there are soooo many new and cool birds down here on the coast..

Saw one of these running across the sand dune a week or so back.. but as hot as the sand gets.. it is no wonder you don’t see them much.. This day was a cool(er) day after Hurricane Alex passed by and we spotted an adult  spotted ground squirrel and when I stopped to take a photo of it.. this baby stood up to see what was happening.. talk about an adorable little creature… it reminded me of a meerkat.. and now I know what the coyote eat.. I didn’t think they survived on seafood and garbage alone..

We don’t have ground hogs here in the West.. so today I am posting photos of some of their distant relatives..

But our weather doesn’t look anything like the photos above.. it looks more like the photo below.. and I would guess if one of these furry little rodents sticks it’s head our of the snow.. It will have a big surprise waiting for it.. ~ A not so friendly/hungry surprise..
