Photo of the Day - Its often Groundhog's Day in upstate NY or is this a woodchuck?

My daughter provided photos on a ground hog that has taken up residence nearby in upstate NY.

Groundhogs are also known as woodchucks. They are the largest-bodied members of the squirrel family in upstate New York. An adult groundhog weighs around ten pounds on average, and they are easily recognizable for their chunky bodies and stubby legs.

Some areas apparently consider them a pest. Geez, can't we all just get along? They are part of nature.

For the record, ground hogs are correct only half the time in predicting the end of winter. 

Finally, a woodchuck would chuck “As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood.”

Enjoy your summer
