That’s a fun series. Well done. I noticed he was keeping a sharp eye on you. You know how badgers are.

Beth, great series and excellent sharp photos. That's got to be the happiest looking badgers. The ones I've been lucky enough to get close to and photograph always have a serious and mean looking expression. I spotted one in the National Elk Refuge last year and was photographing it, then I hear a bloodcurdling scream nearby and see bodies flying through the air turning flips. I moved closer and it's two young sibling badgers fighting. One leaves and the other sits there and gives me a "I'm about to come over there and whip your #$%" look.

This badger was so fun to watch. He started digging a hole in one spot. Then moved to another. Then went back to hole #1. Then went over a little hill and started digging again, #3. This time he spent a lot of time digging that hole before returning to hole #1 and digging more. I finally realized he was making a front door and a back door. He would come up from the hole just below the hill and look at hole #1, then back down, then back up and look at hole #1. Then he would return to hole #1 and dig more. You would see dirt come flying out then his tale and little butt would wiggle out! Then back to hole #3 just below the hill. More digging and his head would come over the rise and he would look at hole #1. I could just see his mind working. Ok, now 3 degrees left and my holes should line up. I half expected to see a little tape measure come out of his back pocket and him measuring between the 2 holes!
It was later in the evening and I did not stay to see if he managed to connect the two! He was a dirty badger with all the digging in the mud!

Neat captures! They are quite fierce; I followed one that was on the two-track road in a pasture. He tried to run & when I got close, he attacked the tire on my truck!
