Richardson's Ground Squirrels
I took this photo from the open van window using a bean-filled cloth bag to support the camera and lens. When I saw the first Richardson's Ground Squirrel's head pop up out of the hole I stopped the van and backed up. After photographing it for a while we were about to pull away when a second head popped up and then a third. This image is discussed more in my blog entry "The Waiting Game".
