Woodchuck, Groundhog

Marmota monax

Notes:

This is the third year that there has been a litter of woodchucks in back of where I work. I'll be updating this spotting over the summer as the young grow up.

Congrats Scott, this little guy has been chosen as spotting of the day on Groundhog Day!

Groundhog Day is a popular American custom, held on the second of February every year. Tradition dictates that if a groundhog sees its shadow that day, there will be six more weeks of winter, though such a prediction seems a sure bet over much of the groundhog's North American range. This year however, an early spring is on the way, according to famed Pennsylvanian groundhog "Punxsutawney Phil."

Thanks! That's very cool. Too bad mom took her babies off to somewhere less public. I didn't get to see the little ones grow up this year : (
