Russell National Wildlife Refuge, told me that, besides lactating females, it isn’t possible to confidently determine sex of prairie dogs except in the hand. So the female I refer to in this post could be a male, instead. Thank you, Randy!

Thanks so much, Cora! I’m so happy that you enjoyed this post – that’s always what I’m hoping for when I write them.

A naturalist is only as good as his or her ability to communicate effectively. You have done this and it gives me great pleasure, thank you.
