Yesterday I spent a day out of Sacramento's 106-degree (F) heat (41
degrees C) in the relative cool of Sierra County, north of Truckee
and Lake Tahoe. I traveled a dirt road where I'd seen Mountain
Bluebirds two weeks earlier and found:
Least Chipmunk (I'm pretty sure it's Least)

Glad you could avoid at least some of the 41 degree heat!
I was through Sacramento, in July of 1991, and you were having a
"heat wave", at a modest 47 (that's 117F!) degrees, in your fair
town. (I've seen -47C, as well, and I don't much care for either one!)
All excellent shots, as always... but if I had to choose, it would be
the Chipmunk. He's really cute ... and beautifully captured.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your "finds".
Cheers!
