It's just amazing to me how bold this guy is. I don't know if he is living under my shed, or sneaks under the back neighbor's fence which is the end of my back yard.
I happened to look out my back window and there he was, waddling up to my back porch, without a care in the world, looking me square in the eye.
"What chu lookin' at?? |
Well he went away and the next day what do my eyes behold:
This looks like an albino, but I guess he's not. Hmmmm....that guy in the first photos is probably not a guy, but a momma!
I like what WikiLeaks says about groundhogs: "The groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, or whistlepig, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. It was first scientifically described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. "
Woodchuck?
Whistlepig?
Ground Squirrel?
Marmot?
No wonder they seem so confused.
As long as they leave my plants alone.
Happy Gardening, friends!
