Sand Lake NWR, SD: 6-21-19




13-lined Ground Squirrel




The thirteen-lined ground squirrel, or "thirteen liner," is the small gopher-like animal often seen along roads in all but northeastern Minnesota. It is one of the animals that has adapted to urban and agricultural development, and actually has expanded its range in Minnesota.






Black-crowned Night Heron





The adults of this species do not distinguish between their chicks and the chicks of other nests.  They will brood chicks which are not their own.
