Taken in Ansel Adams Wilderness, near the rainbow falls...
The stripes look like a chipmunk, but the skull is that of
a desert mouse or something.
That thing is darn fast, and shooting it was a challenge (it doesn't stay put for more than 2 seconds and moves randomly). This photo I got after tracking it... near the trail, behind a tree, digging a hole around a trunk and on top of it... $@#! ...Sport photography.

This is a pretty good shot, given the hyperactivity of these critters!
