The American badger (Taxidea taxus) is a low-slung, powerful predator inhabiting open prairies, sagebrush basins, and active prairie dog towns across Colorado. Finding and photographing badgers requires scanning for fresh subterranean digs, monitoring rodent alarm barks, and looking for coyotes hunting in tandem. For best results, shoot from eye level using a 300mm to 600mm telephoto lens, keeping shutter speeds at 1/1200s or faster to freeze digging action and flying dirt. Explore the locations below to find proven badger photography spots across Colorado.
