Bunnies and Prairie Dogs
Marty’s photo of the day #4817: Prairie dogs are a keystone species. If you don’t pay close attention, it’s easy to assume that every animal atop a mound in a prairie dog town is a prairie dog, but you’d be wrong. Using the same holes are burrowing owls and rabbits. Also, if you reach deep […]
Last Week’s Prairie Dog
Marty’s photo of the day #4812: Deb, Nellie, and I have visited the American Prairie (in Montana) three out of the past four years. I captured multiple high-quality prairie dog images during our first two visits, so I really didn’t need to take any more prairie dog photos when I was there last week. . […]

Photographing prairie dogs
Marty’s photo of the day #4110: Last month, in the American Prairie Reserve, I shot almost one hundred prairie dog photos. Ultimately, I will only post two or three of them. Many photos are nearly identical, but since I never use a tripod, a close inspection of a series of shots may have one where […]
Nellie and the prickly pear
Marty’s photo of the day #4092: Two years ago, before Deb’s and my first visit to the American Prairie Reserve (now officially called “American Prairie”) in central Montana, we were concerned about our newly adopted dog, Nellie, stepping on the cactus there. So months ahead of time, we patiently tried to get Nellie used to […]

Marty’s photo of the day #4085: During last year’s vacation at the American Prairie Reserve (in central Montana), I was able to capture some outstanding prairie dog images. Midway through this year’s five-day-stay, I was getting discouraged. The prairie dogs seemed more skittish than the previous year—although having Nellie, a very active actual dog with […]
Like the old summer cabin
Marty’s photo of the day #3911: Deb, Nellie, and I are returning to Montana’s Prairie Reserve this summer. We reserved the same yurt as last year, but for a longer stay. Being able to rent a yurt kind of reminds me of when I was a kid in Minnesota and having the family cabin to […]
Prairie dogs on the APR
Marty’s photo of the day #3770: I had to approach slowly, on hands and knees, to make this prairie dog photo. (Photographed in the American Prairie Reserve, Montana)
A shocking prairie dog photoshoot
Marty’s photo of the day #3716: As mentioned yesterday, Deb, Nellie, and I enjoyed an amazing six days in Montana’s American Prairie Reserve. I might even write a magazine article about our experiences or work them into a future book. Our initial adventure occurred as we entered the reserve, and it caused a freaky injury […]
