It was first seen near the Lamar River Bridge hunting in the grass near the river bank. It was digging here and there in these grabs. When it saw me it came toward me until within 100 ft. of the car. Then after much dissemble, it scurried up the road for about ¼ mile, then ran off the road about 150 yards into the sagebrush. From trine to time while scurrying, or galloping it held its tail erect as a should will do. At they laid down by its burrow and appeared to sleep. A small bird jumped up on the dirt near the burrow, and the two watched intently for each other.
