Pack rat peering {Explored}

Pack rats are usually active only at night. But in the middle of the day I spotted this one rambling around his little domain under a big prickly pear cactus. After getting my Pentax I tried unsuccessfully to get a shot. Finally he(she?)stopped moving for a few seconds, taking care to be well concealed. I didn't think I had much of a picture until I drastically cropped it and got this, which made me laugh. He was giving me the once-over.
