Prairie Dogs
This is my 400th post since starting my blog in Jan 2011. Thanks again Sheldon for talking me into doing it. With 166 followers and over 67,000 hits, it’s been a very good time and thanks everyone for checking it out.
Here are some of my original targets from my trip to Lubbock, TX – prairie dogs. They are cute little critters that I’m sure drive farmers crazy with all of their burrows in the fields. They were very photogenic and would come out just after sunrise.
The youngsters were getting older but still fun to watch interacting with their parents. I missed the money shot as one got too close to a burrowing owl and the owl attacked him. Maybe next time…

Thanks Victor. It was fun to watch the youngsters interact with their parents. Got several shots in the series that included the last photo and liked that one the best.

Thanks Lisa. It was nice to see something that we don’t get in our neck of the woods. I’m looking forward to my next trip up north.
