Yellow-bellied Marmot
After sitting quietly for a while allowing the chipmunks to emerge and scamper around on an upturned sequoia root mass (and getting no satisfactory images) I decided to give up and stand up. A marmot which had been lurking close by (unseen by me) scampered to the roots and posed at close range for me! And I thought they were SHY animals! Nature photography is never predictable.
