"After a couple weeks of anxiously waiting, we saw our first
set of yearlings down valley! They are so small that they look just like they
did when they first emerged last year. The snow is practically all melted down
valley and we’re really excited to start trapping and get an ID on the
individuals who somehow managed to escape our great marmot trapping effort at
the end of last summer. We are also excited that we have our first set of
undergrads coming in this week! We have
some returners and some people that are brand new to field work. Soon they’ll meet Gothic’s favorite residents,
Dandelion and Stitches, which have been hanging out by Maroon and we have one
more mystery marmot in town. This marmot found entertainment in hiding behind
the snow so we couldn’t see her mark."
