In 2002 a Woodchuck decided to make it's residence underneath my pumphouse. By default it was named "Woody." The following spring it gave a good argument for a name change when she emerged with three babies under her watchful eye. A week after the woodchucks appeared, the entire family disappeared. A few weeks later, when they showed up again, there were only two little ones. The reddish one was quite precocious and inquisitive, the other more cautious. Watching the baby woodchucks growing provided much entertainment that summer. so here are some woodchuck pictures for you!
