Here is another picture.  Look at the animal sunning itself on the rock to the left of the shed.  I think Jeremy and Joe Schmoe are both correct in that this critter may be a Melanistic Ground Squirrel.

The Tasco trail camera captured this picture today of a black California Ground Squirrel.  Melanism is the opposite of albino and is extremely rare in animals.  I repositioned the trail camera in an attempt to get some more pictures with better definition.
