Wild-things...

 Prairie Dogs...they are all over in the open spaces around here.  They are cute in their own little critter type way...but for some reason my boys think they'd like to pick them off...one by one...with some type of fire stick

 Wild Turkeys...I never thought they were really wild in the west.  It was rather a shock to see them for the first time...pecking/grazing on the open range.

Bull Snake...there you have it...go get those mice and other varmit (gibb farm-term for vermin).

There is the occasional rabbit and squirrels.





Every now and again we will see one of these...or a cousin. They are too quick to sneak up on.
There has been a black bear sighted in our area and some elk over across the way.  OH...I did see some antelope roaming the range on the way to the airport the other day.  The song is right. Just haven't located those buffalo...yet.
