A Yellow-bellied Marmot Morning

At Rocky Mountain National Park the Yellow-bellied Marmot is a sure crowd pleaser, but please don't feed them!

I was hoping to also see pika and came up empty-handed on that account, but it was a joy to photograph this guy munching on grass before the crowds showed up.
