Took a run south of Calgary today.

Spotted this guy on Priddis Valley Rd just south of Plummer's Rd. He just sat and watched as I took a few shots. This is the best I could get as he was at the top of a rise in the field. I'm thinking this is his den as the ground was all dug up where he was sitting. First Badger I've seen for two years.

Trish and I took a two hour run north this evening. We saw plenty in such a short time. Lots of swainson's, a few red-tails, a badger den on the side of the road and even a fox.

Trish spotted a couple of baby badgers at the opening of this den as we were driving along north of the city. By the time I stopped and backed up one of the adults was all we could see and even he disappeared pretty quick. Gotta go back and check this out very soon.

Spotted this badger east of Beiseker today. It was about to cross the road when it realised how close I was. These are such cool looking animals.
