White Sands - #3

This "hill of sand" has two distinguishing characteristics - the yucca at the top and the "den" of some nocturnal animal.  To me, it identifies the life forms at White Sands - nocturnal animals and desert vegetation.

Although I didn't realize it when I took this, when I view the slide under magnification, I can see that there is something in the hole, but I can't determine what (it may be a twig or it may be an inhabitant).
