Marmot

May not be that exciting of a wildlife image to most people but I like Marmots and they are actually difficult to find and hard to photograph in Chugach State Park.

Love the expression on his face :toast:
Maybe more space on the left needed?

This is a nice portrait. Marmots are easy to like. When I here them squealing as I travel alone in sub-alpine or alpine areas, I tend to start thinking of them as my mountain companions.

You're right, Carl, marmots are hard to photograph, and not just in Chugach. When I see them it's typically either at a distance, or just a flash. You got a really good picture of this one. :smile: (Love these summer photos, by the way......)

Nice detail, color, and exposure. I would enjoy seeing a bit more of the lovely color around him. He's a cutey. Haven't seen any of these guys up there yet but am new to southcentral and have only explored the powerline valley so far.
