Wildlife report -- part II

A couple more aminamals to add to the list:

Marmot -- these furry fellows keep running across the road in front of us. They're vaguely cute -- sort of like an overfluffy beaver without the tail. (View a picture of a marmot here.) But I have been told that they're busy spreading giardia.
Mosquitos -- I thought that Wisconsin and Minnesota mosquitos could eat the ones out here for breakfast, but it turns out that these fellows have a vicious side as well. Fortunately, the one night I was out in heavy mosquito country I managed to forage some bug dope from some fishermen camped near me.
