Prairie dogs are the first animals we see on our visits to the National Zoo. They have an open air dirt mound and seem within easy reach of many kids and adults that stop by. The squirrels that run around the zoo seem to mock the fence-bound prairie dogs.

Sometimes I talk or write about what the Saskatchewan prairie looks like. This is what I mean. I hope I get a sunset shot next time I'm there.

Willie King at Betty’s Place
Prairie Point, MS 2000
Willie King is a rarity in the Mississippi blues tradition. Born in 1943 in Prairie Point, MS, and raised by grandparents, King struggled to survive in variety of jobs from plowing mules, working in sawmills and working as a traveling salesman. But what makes King’s story different from so many others, is that he took his experience and not only expressed it through his art, but also through social activism, forming the “Rural Members Association” to aid poor rural blacks along the Mississippi and Alabama border and making himself “a field hand turned Field Marshall” in the process. Alongside his band, “The Liberators,” King sings “struggling songs,” expressing the harsh realities of life that many blacks endure while at the same time creating exciting, groove-laced traditional blues that are neither preachy nor overly didactic. “The blues have always been part of me,” says King on his 2002 release, “Living in a New World”. “I live it every day. And it’s about love—sharing, helping each other, caring for one another, thats what the blues life is all about. I’m holding on to the blues life, because I found out that it’s a good life to live. I just want to keep passing it down.”

I used the name Prairie Wolf because Coyote have a bad reputation for various reasons. But this handsome fella was pouncing on voles or mice. Joan & I watched him for about 15min and saw him eat 5. With their winter coats, they are truely a beautiful animal.
This is a small prairie rattlesnake we found in the area of Leader, Saskatchewan, during our travels out here. It was pretty neat to see one in person, and have the opportunity to take a few pictures of it. It was very co-operative and simply sat there the entire time, with only the occasional slight rattling. We never saw any larger ones, though perhaps we might before we head back east.

Prairie dogs (genus Cynomys) are burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. The five different species of prairie dogs are: black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison's, Utah and Mexican prairie dogs. They are a type of ground squirrel, found in the United States, Canada and Mexico. In Mexico, prairie dogs are found primarily in the northern states, which lie at the southern end of the Great Plains: northeastern Sonora, north and northeastern Chihuahua, northern Coahuila, northern Nuevo León, and northern Tamaulipas. In the U.S., they range primarily to the west of the Mississippi River, though they have also been introduced in a few eastern locales. They are herbivorous.
