Can this be my #17 Face?

Honestly I had a conversation with him.  He chirped and whistled to me for quite a bit.  I think the jist of it was "Come on  lady feed me,  see everyone else is feeding me !  Don't be so high and mighty I know the sign says not to feed me things that aren't in my natural diet but I'm hungry!!"
This is a Yellow Bellied Marmot.   I haven't seen one of these before they are related to a ground hog that we find in Ontario.    A marmot is a ground squirrel.   It makes homes in the rocks and digs down deep into the ground.  The males tend to have four or five females living with them.
