This one is from back in 2008 when I was still living in Detroit and took a drive out west just before moving back to New York. Southwest South Dakota has long been one of my favorite places to shoot. Not only great landscapes, but also lots of wildlife. Prairie dogs are very common, especially in northern sections of Badlands National Park. This particular prairie dog was whistling a warning call to any neighbors close enough to hear. (This will be the last post until next Tuesday as Karen and I are heading to Barbados for a long weekend. It’s not a wildlife trip so not sure I’ll return with anything for the blog, but you never know. Sea turtles are among the locals where we are staying.)
