Rock chucks aren't thought of in a friendly manner around here. Know formerly as Yellow-bellied Marmots, they tend to destroy property and are generally a nuisance.
However, in the Dry Canyon of Redmond, Oregon, they are in their element.
I was able to capture this critter in mid chirp as it sounded the alarm call on my approach.
Misty Dawn's Camera Critter Meme is a great way to view critters the world over. Go to the homepage here to see more. Then join the fun and add your own critter.

Sounds like your rock chucks are viewed like our "wood chucks" aka groundhogs are viewed in rural farming areas.
