Anytime a person walks along the paved trail in the Dry Canyon recreational area of Redmond, Oregon, they will hear the loud, high-pitched warning chirps from the yellow-bellied marmot who live in the rocks along the canyon walls.
Most of the marmots, also known as rock chucks, aren’t that old, but the a week or so ago while wandering the trail area, I came across the granddaddy of all rock chucks.
Old, gray, and grumpy looking…just like the way people describe me. 8v)

Oh Wow, he is a big boy. Great sighting and capture.
That is a BIG chuck!!! Me thinks he's prolly bigger than Sammi!
how AWESOME!
Very nice capture.
Regards and best wishes
Amazing the different critters we see from coast-to-coast! If I saw something like that in my backyard, I'd call the exterminator and tell him to bring out the big traps 'cause the rats have been zapped by kryptonite!
Please stop by my blog for a link to a new movie coming out soon called "Darling Companion" with Diane Keaton and Kevin Kline. I thought I would share with all of the Camera Critters! I haven't seen it yet .. but I'm looking forward to seeing it. Let me know what you think!
Great capture! What a cool critter!
Fabulous capture! I've never seen one before.
Awesome shot! They are bigger than I thought...
Looks big. Cute face :)
