I have only spotted one. It's to small to make anything out of. (only about 6" long)

I did a google search and learned it's a Pocket Gopher.

Cool, looks just like a boss I used to work for. That focus is interesting to me, is that auto or manual?

Thanks RGINN and 256steves,

I had a boss like that too, I only use auto focus, my eyes aren't good enough to use manual. For wildlife I use the center focal point, and all of them for landscapes.
