OneThree of four ground squirrels I saw, three outside the chain-link-enclosed area where they seem to live.

This one was looking around outside the fence before it ran inside, joining another one that I hadn’t seen until they both started moving.

This one was eating, then ran back to the fence for safety as I got closer, looked around for a bit before diving inside.
