He sure doesn't like being sprayed with a hose... dug in until he
dried, then scurried for the desert preserve.

Sounds about right: "Males on South Mountain in Phoenix have bright
"carrot orange" tails."
I'm one ridge south of South Mountain, and I've seen orange-tailed
ones up on the hillside.
This one had very faint stripes, but he may well have been trapped
under the rug for awhile. We had one of our joyous
"drive-out-the-leftist weenies" windstorms a few weeks ago, and all
the patio furniture was dancing about ;-)
