Summary
Richardson's Ground Squirrels are year-long North Dakota residents. As this one does, they emerge in the spring after hibernating for the winter in their burrows. This individual had burrowed beneath the beams and rocks that outline the historic fort's Dwelling Range, a row of six apartments where post employees would have lived between 1828 and 1867.
