Marmot warming up with the sunrise

Taken on Mount Evans (Colorado) yesterday morning when the temperature was 40° and the wind howling at 40 mph. This little guy seemed pretty happy to have the sun out.

Sometimes called a ‘rock chuck,’ the yellow-bellied marmots are actually part of the squirrel family.
