Marmot in Rocks roadside - Colorado - USA

---

As I was traveling through Colorado on a mountain road, I spotted this marmot in the rocks along the road. I stopped and shot hand held from the car driver seat through the open passenger window to get this and a few other shots before having to move due to cars coming up behind. Nikon D300s at F9, Sp 600 and ISO 640.
