Rodents of Yosemite #4 through #8: All the squirrels!
Five species of squirrel live in Yosemite. Fortunately they are much easier to identify than chipmunks!
Douglas Squirrel (aka Pine Squirrel or Chickaree)
Belding's Ground Squirrel
Western Gray Squirrel
California Ground Squirrel
Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel
(I didn't see any GMGS this year, so these photos are from last year)
Selected prints available: Yosemite portfolio.
