I was looking at the slime mold in my previous spotting and something moving in this hole caught my eye. These holes are abundant across the landscape as are chipmunks which I originally mistook this for. This hole was near a garage we are building so these animals see us on a daily basis.
thanks mauna. i was having second thoughts about this ID. I have seen other ground squirrels around the yard.
