Field Notes

Description:

Sundevall's Jird, spotted coming in and out of his little tunnel system, near Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. I had been seeing these little guys the last few weeks during my morning runs, so today I decided to wake up early and go sit by the burrow until I got a few good pictures to share.

Yes, I thought so too. They are cute little guys, I enjoyed sitting there and watching him go in and out of the different holes in his burrow.
