                                         Look up at the sky when
                                          you’re out walking and

                   Spectacular nature…     you may well see me.

                                         companions by whistling

                                         from the sky, and several
                                          times if there is danger
                                              from the ground.
                                         So if you hear a marmot
                                          whistle once, it may be
                                           because it has seen its

                        Did you know
                       I have a very practical
                               pastime ...
                       If a bone is too big for
                      me to swallow, I grasp it
                     in my talons or beak, I fly
                      up high and drop it onto
                               the scree.
                       That’s where I get the
                            nickname bone
