Oh No! They're in the lawn!
Boulder, Colorado. This happens every year: the prairie dogs in a neighboring open space expand into the lawns of the office building complex. Illegal immigrants of a sort. The landlord has installed a fence to keep them out but about once a year, they figure out how to get through or maybe they tunnel underneath the fence.
Getting into the lawns does make it easier for the neighborhood hawks to find a meal, though. It's a little tough to see but the prairie dog is on the entrance to the burrow.
Oddly, it's humans that invaded the prairie dog territory. Also, In Boulder, one cannot kill prairie dogs so expensive re-location services must be used. BTW, one can kill mice and rats. Even though they all can (and often do) carry disease, often rabies.
