I happened to catch this curious squirrel as he was gathering nuts for Winter. He thought "If I do a cute pose maybe she will give me some peanuts!" (Which I did)
Reno, Nevada

The California ground squirrel, also known as the Beechey ground squirrel, is a common and easily observed ground squirrel of the western United States and the Baja California Peninsula; it is common in Oregon and California and its range has relatively recently extended into Washington and northwestern Nevada.
California ground squirrels use a variety of sounds, tail signals and scent production as means of communication. The belt out a high-pitched alarm call when they feel threatened. The calling can last for several minutes.
California ground squirrels may live as long as 6 years, but 3 to 4 years is probably their average life span in the wild.
