This is the first time I have ever seen one of these little guys/gals in the wild. In photo #2, I believe he/she is giving me the evil eye 
Well taken in difficult light.

Really nice shots. Growing up we had these guys living in Prairie Dog holes and raising a set of kids every year. Lovely creatures. I think they have both been losing habitat as pasture land is turned to cornfields.

These are very nice. They almost disappear against the background

Definitely! He obviously does not like you taking his picture...or maybe it's the flash, if you were using one.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I don't know how rare these birds are in my area but in all my years doing photography this is the only one I have seen. I did not use flash for these photos, only available light.

Great pics!
I had the opportunity to photograph one in the Lower Klamath Wildlife Refuge.
He played with us for quite a while. We found out later he had a family in the burrow a female and 2 hatchlings.
