Well I am headed back to the Texas Panhandle next week. We have tons of prairie dog towns, and I have heard we have them around, so I will definitely go try and find some! Also heard prairie do towns are good for Golden Eagles in that area too :)

Thanks Ashley! Keep your eyes out...they are a winter migrant into northern Mexico, so you've probably got them in Texas! They like prairie dogs...they sit high on poles or soar on thermals...
