I was opening my second story home office window and thought I saw movement on the other side of the wall behind my house. It's a large open area with train tracks going through it. I got my camera and zoomed in and saw that it was a prairie dog. He's so cute. :D I watched him digging his hole, throwing out dirt.

If I lived in the country or forest I'd probably spend way too much time nature watching.

They really are cute and fun to watch. Years ago, I went to a zoo in Tucson, AZ that had prairie dogs. They sat there socializing with each other, looking for all the world like people in a European cafe!

How cute!
I love going to the zoos that have the tunnels where you can go in them and then pop your head up in the bubble and watch them.

I've never done that in a zoo. did you actually go in?

I think he heard me at the window taking pictures. :-) It didn't occur to me to change the camera to video when he was throwing the dirt out!
