I have often seen these three marmots together, surveying their surroundings, snacking on vegetables or just sunning themselves.

They likely are juveniles from last year and probably siblings.

This picture from last June shows the same three – I think – when they were only a couple of months old.

They do like to be together and are very protective of each other, too, although that’s a natural trait of the marmots.

It was a lovely spring day for them to be outside enjoying the weather and surveying their domain.

Happy Wednesday.
