Abstract Marmot Country

Marmot Country · **5 Likes**

The marmots were out in force scrambling around the rocks of the alpine tundra of Rocky Mountain National Park as a storm rolled in over the Memorial day weekend.

Thanks for the kind words! I wish the Pika images were half this good , but they are far too small and quick for me to get close enough with a 200mm.

You may not see the pikas, but you can certainly hear them

In some places they're pretty friendly (think touristy areas) but in the wild they like to hide.

Are these related to squirrels? Maybe this would fit Rupert's squirrel thread also!
