This little round-tailed ground squirrel was very busy building a new subterranean passageway. I saw him when I was on that long walk on Friday.
He was kicking up a lot of fresh dirt into a nice neat pile outside the entrance he had created. Nature's creatures are an enterprising sort.
I love seeing all that fresh dirt on his feet and nose. There was no doubting that he had been hard at work. The Desert Botanical Garden is full of all kinds of furry critters and colorful birds and they will have the place pretty much to themselves while we humans wait out the health crisis.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. There was a villa to go with those exotic birds I featured last week.
It's kind of nice to think of the squirrels just doing their thing with no people around, isn't it?
