Desert Denizen

OK here is the token wildlife pic.
Captured this fellow outside the hotel room at Goulding's in Monument Valley. Lured him and a buddy (or mate) with Planter's mixed nuts. They seem to prefer the Brazil nuts.
Anyhow, a western chipmunk sometimes called an Antelope Ground Squirrel. Notice the big back feet compared to our eastern chipmunks. These must help them motivate quickly in the sand.
