After taking Leah back to her mother Sunday, I went out to Cheyenne Bottoms. Not a lot moving, but I did get a couple shots.

Last Oriole of the year?



Prairie dog--I was able to drive within a few feet of this fellow. He would look around, run back into his hole, then peek out again, doing this several times.



I pulled up even closer, but this put the prairie dog in the shade of the van. This was taken in macro mode with the tcon.

Thanks everybody. I hope to get out to that prairie dog town again soon. That night was a fluke that I found the town, since I was chasing down a bird at a tiny pond :).
