This is a pic I took recently, living and photographing in Northern Viriginia. A black-tailed prairie dog.
Prairie dog at the Reston Zoo
To be sure, this critter does not live near here. But at the Reston Zoo they are available to watch.
With the National Zoo not so far away, and free, it is not so likely that tourists will find and hit this zoo. But it is a zoo worth a visit, as many animals can be touched! This is amazing for kids, and creates a situation where kids can not just see animals, but touch them. Excellent stuff for conservation.

A scarlet macaw
Most of the touchable animals are the goats, sheep and similar domesticated things. Which is quite worthy.
Looking at each other
And likely I need to have a second day to post all the pics from the Reston Zoo.
