The Yellow-bellied Marmot
This is one of my my most popular videos It was made in 2008 in conjunction with a video contest I organized for the Allen Brooks Nature Centre in Vernon BC. The version on my website includes a 'making of' segment. See
The Yellow-bellied Marmot belongs to the biological family of Sciuridae (Psy-your-ih-dee), a diurnal or daylight active, bushy tailed family of rodents that also includes squirrels and chipmunks.
The Yellow-bellied Marmot enjoys dry open habitats in the western United States and south-western Canada. They prefer grasslands and meadows especially in combination with rocky areas and at the base of cliffs.
Marmots are visible for only four months of the year, from April until August. The remainder of the year is spent underground in hibernation. To survive 8 months of hibernation, the omnivorous marmot needs to build up fat reserves on a diet of grass, leaves, flowers, fruit, insects and bird eggs. By the beginning of September, a fully matured yellow-bellied Marmot can weigh up to 5 kilograms.
Awakening from hibernation in April, male marmots dig a summer burrow and then start looking for mates. Marmots live in harem colonies consisting of a harem male and up to four females and their offspring.
The gestation period for marmots is 30 days and litters generally consist of 4 to 5 pups. Marmots begin mating after 2 years of age and have been known to live for 15 years.
Marmot colonies protect themselves from predators by calling out warnings. The characteristic high pitch chirp from an observant marmot warns the colony about approaching humans as well as natural predators such as coyotes, birds of prey and snakes. Marmots only travel within 2 or 3 kilometres from their summer burrows, where they can often be found warming themselves in the sun.
For more information about the yellow bellied marmot please see wikipedia.org, the web site for the Integrated Land Management Bureau of British Columbia Canada or visit the Allan Brooks nature center either on line or in person in Vernon, British Columbia.

Vernon Painting Artist Residency
This past summer, I moved to Vernon, British Columbia to partake in a wonderful self-directed artist residency program by the Caetani Cultural Centre. I worked full time, busying my days with painting, researching, and ultimately trying new things in the studio. I experimented with a variety of mediums, colours and subject matters including: local landscapes, world maps and honey bees. I was fortunate enough to meet many talented local artists. I visited a magical honey bee farm/print studio, learned about the 4 food chiefs, and cruised around and explored the Okanagan. I brought home SO much inspiration and new ideas. One of my highlights (not shown) was attending the local farmers markets, which happened nearly everyday, fresh organic BC fruits and veggies cannot be beat! (My tummy is rumbling just thinking about it.) Enjoy the video.
Any questions? Comment below!
For more on my residency see: daniellefolkerts.com. This home video is a small collection of moments during my stay, I am beyond grateful for this wonderful experience and opportunity to work on my art practice. (Fall 2015)

Allan Brooks Nature Centre Fun video presentation for Joey's Only Revival Project. Allan Brooks Nature Centre is working toward changing from seasonal operations to year round so we can expand our education programs. We believe that by exposing children to the wonders of nature first hand they will grow up to be active in preserving the sensitive ecosystems that surround us. In fact they will likely leave the Okanagan and take with them this love for nature to other communities throughout Canada. Keeping in mind the kids of today are the policy makers of tomorrow.
