"Cascade Yellow-Mantled Ground Squirrel"
[with Canon EF 1.4x II]
Manning Park is home to a wide variety of birds and animals. There are 206 separate species of birds and 63 species of mammals within the park. Many of these are quite common species, such as the Columbian Ground Squirrel and the Common Pika, but also found in Manning are the less common Mountain Beaver, Wolverine and the Cascade Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel. Manning Provincial Park and the Cascade Recreation Area are also central to efforts to recover the threatened Grizzly Bear population of the North Cascades, forming part of the core habitat area for the conservation of this small but significant population.

neat photo indeed!,well captured too,about an hour east down the road towards the st. marks river area theres a state park (okelocknee st. park i think) that has one of the worlds only snowy white squirrel species,both are very beautiful!
She looks a tad apprehensive, as though something she's spotted isn't quite to her liking. Perhaps one of those grizzly bears... but she'd be nothing more than a mere snack - a single M&M at best.
