A prairie dog barks about a potential threat to alert its neighbors. They are such fascinating little animals to observe!
On a technical note, I am so impressed with the image quality I am getting with the 800mm PF lens and the Z mount 1.4x teleconverter!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

This chipmunk was alerting to the other chipmunks and they alerted back. They were easy to find them when they made noise.
Spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) cubs, just outside their underground den. Cubs are born with soft, dark brown hair, and weigh 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) on average. They begin to lose the black coat and develop the spotted, lighter colored pelage of the adults at 2–3 months.

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
This pair of White-tailed Deer were on high alert when they spotted me just before dusk on a cold winter's day at Michigan's Kensington Metropark, near Milford, Michigan. Moments after this image was taken, they bounded away.
Three Mule Deer paying close attention to the guy sticking his camera out of the window of the rolling rental car blind. They didn't care much for the mirror slap and turned to run about a second or two after this shot.
This trio was hanging out just after sunrise near the road through the prairie of Badlands National Park.
I was alerted to this Great Crested Grebe by the sound of its young calling for food. Unfortunately the young was hidden behind reeds and for most of the time so was this parent. This photo was therefore taken through a brief gap in the reed cover.
There are a lot of mule deer near the base of the eastern hills in the Bear Lake Valley, Idaho. The snow isn't as deep there so they usually find food, but they still look very thin. They watched us carefully but stayed near their food source instead of running away. We hope the plants start to leaf out soon so these beautiful animals can survive.
Brown Hare, despite the end of the breeding season these hares are still showing regularly, I sit for hours watching their antics sometimes I think they're watching me as well.

The prairie dogs went on alert when this bison dropped and started to scratch its back rolling on the ground. Not something you want to be near or 'under'.

An Columbia White-tailed deer - an endangered species - is on alert in dense fog at Ridgefield, Washington.
Indian wild dogs, also known as dholes (Cuon alpinus) are highly social and intelligent predators found in forests across South and Southeast Asia. They are known for their distinctive reddish-brown fur, erect ears, and bushy tails.
These animals play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance but are classified as endangered due to habitat loss and poaching.
Greater Yellowlegs, Tringa melanoleuca. A lifer for me. Taken at the wetland in Seabourne Creek Nature Park, on my first Bird Hike with the Texas Master Naturalists Coastal Prairie Chapter. The group leader identified an enormous number of birds, and I got a few nice photos. The hikes are now on hiatus until "next year"; ie, the fall migration season. Dog years last 7, Bird years go a lot faster!

The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye, plump body, and alert posture. The wings are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight.
Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast. Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain gray-brown from a distance. Females are grayish above with bluish wings and tail, and a subdued orange-brown breast.

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx.
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h in three seconds, faster than most supercars.
The adult cheetah weighs from 40 to 65 kg. Its total body length is from 115 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure up to 85 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads. The cheetah's chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes.
There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semi-desert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats.
De jachtluipaard, gepard of cheeta(h) (Acinonyx jubatus) is een groot katachtig roofdier dat nog voorkomt in Afrika en Iran. Het is de enige nog levende soort uit het geslacht Acinonyx.
De jachtluipaard staat bekend als het snelste landdier ter wereld., en kan bij korte afstanden van maximaal circa 500 meter 112 tot 120 km halen. Hij is slank, flexibel en gespierd gebouwd, als een hazewindhond, met een krachtige borst, een lange staart en voor een katachtige zeer lange poten, waarmee hij zich hard kan afzetten.
De jachtluipaard heeft een licht gele vacht, die bedekt is met kleine, ronde, zwarte vlekken. De onderzijde en borst zijn bijna geheel wit. De kop is vrij klein, met kleine oren en grote, oranje ogen. Van de binnenste ooghoeken tot de mond loopt een zwarte streep, en ook de onderlippen zijn zwart. De achterzijde van oren heeft een zwarte en witte markering. De staart is gevlekt, maar heeft bij de top een reeks van zwarte ringen en eindigt in een zwarte staartpunt. De vorm van de ringen en de hoeveelheid verschilt per dier, vergelijkbaar met de vingerafdruk voor de mens.
Over de ondernek en schouders loopt, vooral bij jonge cheeta's, een opvallende maan van lang haar.
Een volwassen dier weegt tussen 35 en 65 kg, maar gemiddeld 50 kg. De kop-romplengte is 110 tot 150 cm, en de staart kan 65 tot 90 cm lang zijn. De schouderhoogte is gemiddeld 80 cm.
De jachtluipaard leeft in droge, open savannen en in struikgebieden. Hij kan overal overleven waar voldoende prooidieren zijn en het terrein open genoeg is om te kunnen rennen. Hij heeft een voorkeur voor gebieden met schuilplaatsen, vanwaar hij prooi kan besluipen..

Diving back into the archives today, I may have to go back even further before our lock-down ends.
I just love to watch and photograph the grebe family of birds. This western grebe is on alert for its mate. They often swim together, independently diving for food and when they emerge on the surface again, they call out, looking for each other. It's just so sweet. Of course, those red eyes alone, against the black head and white throat is enough to capture my attention. LOL. Now that summer is approaching, can't wait to get out and spend more time with them again.
Thanks for stopping by to view.

A lone Brown Thrasher briefly made an appearance on the lawn. They're pretty elusive, so the fact that this one tolerated us for so long was a nice surprise
This Coastal Brown Bear was cooling down on a very warm day by lying in some shallow water, when something caught its attention. Not for long however. He settled back down right after this shot was taken.

Today starts a non-themed series on my photo stream. The only thing the next few posts will have in common is that I will pick them randomly based on what moves me each morning.
