You got him cold here, David. Love those little guys. On one of our first trips up into the mountains after we moved to Washington we were walking along not paying any attention when one let loose with a whistle just ahead and above us only a few yards and really scared me - I had never heard one and being this close it shook me up for a minute. I don't think I had ever heard anything that loud before. Thanks for posting.

I know that while Marmots are cute, they're rapidly growing "long in the tooth". Still, I thought I'd show one more, for those who get the same kick out of 'em that I do. But, after this, I promise to find something else to show. Really.. I promise! As always, peek at http://www3.telus.net/~telyt and click on "featured photo" (on the left). Comments, criticism appreciated. Thanks for looking. Cheers! David. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Young, Logan Lake, BC CANADA.
