Yellow-Belly This guy was running around on some steep terrain when my friends and I spotted him atop Natural Bridge (YNP). He was curious as to what we were doing but was sure to keep his distance. We didn't hear any whistling from him but he kept his "perched" stance. Marmota flaviventris,United States,Yellow-bellied marmot Click/tap to enlarge
