The first one reminds me of a Rock Squirrel, with those obvious white spots on the back.

For what it's worth, La Jolla Cove is a rocky cliff area. Lots of rocks. Lots.

That Ground Squirrel needs to learn to put his cigarette butts in an ashtray. Squirrels can be so bad about that. Too bad they're not smarter, like humans. :rolleyes:

The first one is a California Ground Squirrel. Rock Squirrel's range doesn't come into California.

Yep, this is a Western Fox Squirrel, Liam. Quite a difference between them and the Fox Squirrels back in Georgia, huh??
