Furry Friday: Praying For Spring

Richardson’s Ground Squirrels are beginning to come out of hibernation, right on schedule. But with the record snowfalls we’ve had, and more on the way, it must be a nasty shock for them. All photos were taken by Tony LePrieur just outside Calgary in early March.

  1. Yes! There were a few out on the white expanses near Chaparral/Stoney Trail SE interchange this week. I haven’t noticed their emergence before but they are really easy to spot this year.

  2. This shows that native species have adapted very well and can enjoy the snow. We should take a lesson and make snow balls! Doug
