Marmota monax
Medium sized rodent with gray to brown fur, a dark muzzle and black guard hairs. Legs are short in relation to body size.
Usually open areas such as pastures, fields and woodland areas, but sometime found in urban areas.
This individual is one of our wild "neighbors". I only recently sighted this young woodchuck as it was grazing on fallen leaves near a storage building.
