@SanJuanMtnBob Thanks Bob! I took a few hours to do this. I went to a boulder field where I had been hearing them for a few weeks and set up my tripod there and waited for my opportunities! But even with that, by the time I would zoom in on them, they often were moving already - or I'd be getting the best footage before I had the camera stabilized... so some of the images are a bit unsteady. I'll be trying again sometime soon I'm sure!
@Zogador Thank you! It took some patience for sure. I spent a couple of hours on this afternoon filming them. A few times, the best scenes were before I had the tripod fully set up so the footage is a bit shaky. Also, they were too quick for me to capture when they were running around with some vegetation in their mouths... a project for another summer I guess!
@kaylynn2525 I'm glad to introduce them to you! They are fun to watch... especially when they are running around with grasses and other plants in their mouths!
@jannicemull Thanks Janice! They seemed to be a lot lower this year and in this boulder field where I wasn't expecting them. I spent a bit of time filming them on this day, but didn't get any footage of them running around with vegetation in their mouths. Next year!
I just love 0:32 the difference in body proportion when theycall out. They seem so pudgy but they aren't XD

Nice shots - those little critters are tough to photo or video!
