Some footage from one of my trail cameras at a prairie dog town at the Nature Conservancy's Niobrara Valley Preserve, Keya Paha County, Nebraska.

The Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) can be seen digging, standing watch, sounding an alarm, and even looking into the camera lens. Never got footage of them doing that before. They got pretty close to the camera this time.
