Field Notes

Description:

Almost at the end of the hike I heard it whistle and my father pointed it out. It was rather close to the path, so I hid behind some rocks and photographed it for a few minutes while it observed the other hikers.

Habitat:

dirt holes in a wide plain at the base of high mountains
