Some wildlife from the last few catventures.

Western jackrabbit.


Striped groundsquirrel. With the drastic decline of the praire dog population, these little guys are taking over.


Winter's coming.


Cormorants are the only webfooted birds who perch. On their spring and fall migrations they stop near my house for a week or two. There are four power lines across the river and that is where they perch. They are gone now, but the evidence of their visit is clearly visible on the walkway.



Possibly the rarest wildlife in these parts, the elusive prairie pirate.

They are becoming super common in the city.Not many prairie dogs left anywhere, but lots of jackrabbits, plus cats and dogs in the city.
