Hi Rick, I just followed a link here from another blog and found this lovely marmot offering. I have a few marmot poems from my time in Southern Oregon. In the Midwest now with groundhogs (still whistle pigs) which I have watched and written poems about and recently learned how to capture and rehome. I call them flat cats.

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the piece on marmots. And thanks for what you are doing for wildlife.
Amazing creatures. Fascinating info about them. I hope more folks become aware of them and appreciate them.
Hi Deedee. I agree with you on both points. Thanks for commenting.
This one is really fascinating, Rick Thanks for doing the research and presenting it in such an accessible way!
Hey, Rus, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The research was fun as was the writing. I love learning about my wild neighbors.
Thanks Rick, you increased my knowledge of marmots by at least tenfold!
Hey, Tom, I glad you found it educational. I sure learned a lot in researching the piece.
So interesting and so cute! I think I've seen them in California. Thanks as always.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Patricia. I think there are marmots in the mountains of Northern CA.
Yes, I think I saw them in the upper mountains of Yosemite. And I think also around Juneau, Alaska, something big and plump anyway.
