A Richardson’s Ground Squirrel stands up on it’s haunches beside the entrance to a burrow to keep a wary eye out for predators; ready to warn the colony at the first sign of danger.
Captured at St. Mary’s Reservoir Provincial Recreation Area, in southern Alberta, Canada.
Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi using a 75-300mm lens @ 205mm, 1/400 sec., f/5.0, ISO 100. No post processing.

I am an amateur photographer living in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.
I enjoy photographing the wonders of the world around me; whether that means capturing images of animals and wildlife, scenic natural landscapes, or man-made wonders.
I travel all over Canada in pursuit of this passion and my dream is to one day be able to do this full-time.
Thank you for your interest in my work,
Alyce Taylor
