Marmot? Tundra Prairie Dog?
Ladybug just got her pictures uploaded from the Denali trip, so here are a few from her camera. I know this guy as a prairie dog, but someone else on the trail called it a marmot. Can anyone help here?

This little guy would be an Arctic Ground Squirrel. They are very cute - their whistles are quite distinctive.
BTW - Marmots are much larger than Arctic Ground Squirrels.
Now I finally know! And yes, the whistle is definitely distinctive. As we walked along the trail, we heard them PHEEP in a row. (at least that's what it sounded like!)
