It's not very often we see groundhogs in our yard, so it was a surprise to see a big Momma "woodchuck" eating our grass last month.
She was there on a daily basis and I found she had moved in under our storage shed in the woods.

We were even more surprised when 4 baby ground hogs appeared with her a couple weeks ago!
I have left a large section of the grass uncut so they can forage.
They appear everyday to chow down. Many people would shoot them, I just find them fun to watch.

That's neat. I for one, have never saw a baby before.

Great pictures. Did they seem afraid that you were there or not? It doesn't seem like it.

How cute are those babies! I love going to Pennsylvania in the summer and seeing the woodchucks and chipmunks. My in-laws think I'm nuts

They are very timid and will run away. I took these pics from my kitchen window and they were probably about 25 feet from me.

Very cute Patrick and to think I tried eating one once (No yelling it was a long time ago). Yuk, it was pretty gamey.
Now I just shoot things with my camera, unless it's an intruder ;)
The babies are adorable. I too have never seen young ones.

Patrick, I just wanted to say you take wonderful pics from your kitchen window and I love how you take care of the wild animals in your yard. If only others would follow in your footsteps. I for one am thankful there are people like you out there making the world a better place for all Gods creatures. Thanks.
