The prairie dogs (Cynomys) are small, burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. There are five different species of prairie dogs: black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison, Utah, and Mexican prairie dogs. They are a type of squirrel. On average, these stout-bodied rodents will grow to be between 12 and 16 inches (30 and 40 cm) long, including the short tail and weigh between 1-3 pounds. They are found in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In Mexico, prairie dogs are primarily found in the northern states which are 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 west of the Mississippi River, though they have also been introduced in a few eastern locales.

Downs Prairie Natural Area, Prairie County, Arkansas.
A tall grass prairie area just off the highway. The last of the natural prairie in Arkansas. It was a perfect beautiful day for such a place.
This Prairie Falcon was about two miles east of the other. Much larger , so we assume this was a female.
Cattle at a watering hole near Highway 873, south of Brooks.
Some staples of Prairie life, cattle, water, irrigation and the nodding donkey in the background gently pumping away.
Not forgetting the big blue sky!

Prairie dogs (genus Cynomys) are herbivorous burrowing ground squirrels native to the grasslands of North America.
Chiwaukee Prairie is located in the Carol Beach area of Lake Michigan; in the SE corner of Wisconsin. It's a beautiful place to go for a drive or a walk. Keep your eyes open for birds and other signs of wildlife, or cross the street and take in the sights of Lake Michigan at one of the two small public areas.
Prairie dog town on the Paddock Creek Trail (very close to the trailhead), Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota.
I always love seeing the different skies over the prairies and this was one of the views south east of Calgary last weekend.
