From the September 22, 1952 SPEAKING OF PICTURES feature - "An art institute honors LIFE's Wallace Kirkland." According to LIFE, "High among the traits which have distiguished Wallace Kirkland as a LIFE photographer is his enormous patience. He needs it because he likes particularly to photograph nature subjects, which cameramen generally find both elusive and uncooperative." This photo ran in feature with the following caption: "Prairie Dogs almost exhausted Kirkland's patience. He finally got these in range by flooding their burrow with 300 gallons of water. The dog at right is eating a dandelion." Kirkland was honored by The Art Institute of Chicago, who described him as "one of the most creative photographers in the field."
