Columbian Ground Squirrels at Sunshine Meadows

During the short, warm months in the alpine elevations, the Columbia Ground Squirrels are a flurry of activity digging, eating, chirping and raising little ones.  Bobbi and I headed up to Sunshine Meadows to hike around and enjoy the wildflowers that are in bloom right now.  Along the trails these squirrels were busy with their daily activities and we both had a lot of fun watching these creatures.
