Woodchucks R Us


We must be living in the country, because we have 3 woodchucks who can be seen around the house at different times of the day.

You would think that such a squat, chunky creature would not be able to move very quickly. However, they are suprisingly fast and can climb rocks quite easily. One woodchuck was happily eating in the yard, but as soon as I slid the door open, he was off like a shot.

We both scared each other one day down by the pond - I did not expect him to be grazing along the water's edge.

Here is a picture taken from inside.
