Well done, David. I think that your getting the image at the quality that you
captured is as exceptional as the behavior that you noted in the little guy!
Good on you, sir!
Best regards,

Yellow Bellied Marmots are vegetarian rodents, about the size of a large
house cat.
While they can climb trees, it is exceptionally rare for one to do so. I the
15 years I've been shooting the little critters, I've never seen it before.
Even more unusual is the small size of the branch he's managed to squeeze
himself onto!
This fellow is at great risk, as he would have a hard time getting to his
burrow, in an emergency. He's prime pickings for an eagle swooping in from
behind.

The little guy was a long way away. Even at 400mm (which is an 800mm field
of view compared to a full frame camera) this shot is about 1/3 of the
original frame.
Comments, criticism welcomed, as always.
David.
