Who knew there were so many Yellow-bellied critters? I don’t know how many total there might be but I do know there’s at least three, one yellow-bellied bird, one yellow-bellied reptile, and one yellow-bellied mammal. This is the Yellow-bellied Marmot, a mammal. Although I never actually saw its yellow belly, so I’ll just have to assume he has one. I had never photographed a Yellow-bellied Marmot before seeing this one and few members of its colony this past May in Montana as they grazed on vegetation just off the road.
I’ve neglected my blog in the last couple of weeks because I was working on a photography related project but that project gave me the opportunity to review images and discover inadvertently buried treasures like this one.
Nice!
