Columbian Ground Squirrel Song

Glacier National Park

Transcript

Co-lumb-i-an ground squirrel pops up.

Co-lumbian ground squirrel ducks down

In Glacier he’s commonly found.

His burrow’s a hole in the ground.

This squirrel has a call like a bird.

In Glacier, it's commonly heard.

His shout makes his neighbors alert,

And they all dive down in the dirt!

His tail does not curl up his back.

No, it is not bushy and fat.

If you search for him in a book,

He has a real prairie dog look!
