“Bridge Trolls”
The Yosemite park ranger called these marmots “bridge trolls” and if you stood there watching them long enough, you start to believe it. They really don’t care that humans are on THEIR property... they will come back to reclaim it. The bridge builders carefully left the nesting spots undisturbed on either end of the bridge so we can be entertained. We can pursue wildlife or just wait for them to come to you!
