Beaudry Park

Beaudry Park is a small Provincial Park on the Manitoba prairie just west of Winnipeg. The Assiniboine River rambles through here and this is a great place to go walking in the summer or cross-country skiing in the winter. The park supports many varieties of birds and small mammals. Beaver and muskrats can be seen swimming in the river. It’s a nice place to go if you just want to get out of the city for a while as it is only about 10 minutes from the perimiter. Today is another cute critter, the Thirteen Striped Ground Squirrel. This little fellow was busy stuffing his cheeks with fresh grass but never far away from one of his escape routes. There were numerous holes in the ground. The first photo shows the striping on the back of the squirrel.
