Raymond Ranch Wildlife Area near Flagstaff, AZ

This little guy decided he should warn the colony that I was there. Must not have bothered him much as shortly he was eating the some of the vegetation around him.

F5, 600mm f/4, TC-14E, Gitzo, Wimberley, Provia 100F

All comments greatly appreciated. Thanks

Great capture. Got his mouth open telling the world. I like the inclusion of the environment in this shot. Very nicely done.

Really nice inclusion of the environment here. I like this a lot but maybe wish the white flowers were less bright. You're Flagstaff area shots have been a lot of fun. I'm regretting only spending one day there as it looks like there was a lot to find.

Nice environment shot and I like the way the Prairie Dog is kept proportionally at a size in relation to his environment.

This one makes me laugh Alan. Nice job of inclusion of environment, and although small in the frame, the subject is very effective here. Very successful!
