Round Tailed Ground Squirrels live in "towns" just like Prairie Dogs, with a language (squeaks) identifying predators and "all clear", distinguishing between coyote, dog, hawk, and even identifying colors and size (of a person for example). If you google Prairie Dog language, or ask me for some links, there is some interesting reading about Prairie Dogs. http://www.robertbody.com/images/1000/2014-06-22-tucson-squirrels-1dx_2157.jpg

Wow. I usually refrain from commenting when there are watermarks all over the pics, but these are just spectacular. I particularly like Nos. 1, 2, and 8.

Beautiful work.
In my view I have no problem what-so-ever with yours or any watermark - these days the bolder the better, its nice to share these low res jpegs here in this community but no matter protect your work! So many of the images posted here are of the highest caliber and very hard won, I say keep your copyright highly visible and proudly placed until you get paid and credited for usage.
