It took a while before these marmot babies came out of their rock den and started wondering around our yard. I knew the marmots would have babies in May and I have been waiting and watching for these little marmots. This weekend I finally got my chance to spot one. This little guy was so surprised to see me that he froze on the top of these tires and I was able to snap a really good shot.
I wondered over to the creek to have a look at the marmot den and I counted 8 new babies out and about on the rocks. These little marmots are growing quickly and they are already figuring out how to survive and dig tunnels. I also found some new tunnels in the lawn near the house. Maybe with the expanding family the tunnels have to be widened as well. I just hope the continue to eat all the dandelions on the lawn and leave my flowers alone.
