Other North American marmots include the Hoary Marmot of the northwest and Alaska, and the Ground Hog in the eastern part of the continent. http://www.wildlightphoto.com/mammals/rodents/ybma03.jpg Technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt with UET-R extension tube shoulder stock & monopod May 29 2008 Lassen Volcanic National Park, California All comments welcome.
