Peek-a-boo!

This gopher was watching us watching him...

Almost forgot about these guys, can't ever tell the difference between these and Prairie dogs, maybe they're one in the same. Cool shot, thanks for jolting my memory:)

Thanks ML... yes they are also prairie dogs and known too as Richardsons Ground squirrels. There's enough of them around here...that's for sure!
I always think of Caddyshack and Bill Murray when I see them..."Au revoir Go-fer!" :)

Ive always wanted to go out there and shoot them..... :cool:

JJ...lol...do you mean "shoot them" as in blow them away or shoot them with a camera?
Alot of people here like to go out and shoot them in the "blowing them away" meaning and not with a camera. Seems to be a weekend past time for many out here.... ;)

The pun WAS intended. I would be out there to do both of them. I find that shooting firearms and cameras have a lot of similarities. Getting good at one will help the other.

You know spring has arrived when you spot your first flattened gopher on the road.
