More melting

Just a touch of snow yesterday (I think I mentioned that already) and another dusting this morning. Although it is currently overcast, it’s also 41°, so the ground is soft and becoming muddier by the moment.

I identified the ground squirrels who have been hanging out with all our ground birds and eating at our birdseed buffet. They are white-tailed antelope squirrels. Here is a good photo of one, and here is the Wikipedia article. More info here, here, and here!
