I nicknamed this black-tailed prairie dog "Jaba" because of its obvious love of food. I was lucky enough to catch it in a frontal image just as it was barking a warning to its colony.

D100, 500mm AFS, ISO 400.

Bob...........I'd love to tell you the tall tale of spending hours waiting for just the right moment. In truth, I just happened to press the shutter release at the right time.

Cool. Not too many images work without at least one eye showing, but this is an exception.

Sure is nice to get lucky with timing once in a while. :lol:
