"Dog Town"
There were hundreds of Prairie Dogs scurrying about the short grass at Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR (and in many other locations near Denver airport).
Prairie Dogs are herbivorous burrowing ground squirrels that live in large colonies. Three species are found in Colorado. The picture shows young Black-tailed Prairie Dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus), common in the eastern grassy plains of Colorado.
