Great capture, Joe. I like the framing which includes what looks to be a portion of her burrow. Like all the detail. They're far to cute. Having not seen one in person, I would guess they put a smile on your face no matter how common they are.
Hi Joseph, awesome sighting of this gal. I would be tempted to change the crop such that the bird is a bit more to the right if you have the room as I find it too centered as of now. Additionally, the image feels a little dark to me right now so perhaps add some exposure and see if that helps? This is a bird I really want to photograph so I'm quite jealous!
