We've seen groundhogs out in parks and such all weekend! (Picture above is from the park at Onondaga Lake). At first we didn't know what in the world they were (some kind of strange northern woodland creature??), so it required a little bit of internet research - what would we do without Google?
"The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as woodchuck, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots." Thank you Wikipedia! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog)
