Hello Birdman,
your yellowbellied marmot shot is a beautiful
animal-portrait.
they have relatives in swiss mountains: Murmeltiere
(or "Murmeli" in swiss-german).
Here in Ontario we have a winter custom: if the tame
groundhog comes out of his burrow and sees it's
shadow, there will be several more weeks of winter.
your amazing Leitz 560mm Telyt is one sharp glass!
greetings Otto
Thanks for the comments, Otto. I read recently (I don't know how
accurate this is) that the alpine marmot may have been more
responsible for the Black Death (bubonic plague) than rats were...
based on what evidence Doug?
and did its habitat coincide with the location of the bubonic plague
epidemic?
Steve
hard to say for sure at this date.
