Deer pretending invisibility at Page Springs.
Note that pink, prehensile tongue.
Nuttall’s cutest namesake, of cottontail persuasion.
Yellow pine chipmunk that watched us as we watched wild horses on south end of Steens Loop.
Least Chipmunk at Malheur Field Station, smallest chipmunk in North America.
Here’s the same yellow pine chipper, photos by Kirk Gooding.

We ust have seen over 50 individual coyotes…maybe they had a good summer, maybe the drought has drawn them into irrigated fields close to the road. It was exciting to see so many predators unshot and unkilled.
