These guys are cute but very skittish.. and for plump little bodies.. you would not believe how fast they can move.
I was able to get this shot with my zoom lens.
The second it noticed me.. I blinked and it was gone.
The groundhog has it's own special day on February 2. I'm not sure I believe any of that if it sees it's shadow stuff... but they are really cute!

He doesn't look like he suffers any fools.
Maybe that's why he isn't really seen very often.

@minx267 I can't say as I blame them, Rabies isn't a walk in the park.

@minx267 isn't it his nose is always moving, like sniffing something?

They do move very fast, despite their rather rotund bodies. I had one one time that came up on my deck and looked in the windows..That was hilarious!

I like to watch them run. It is funny the way they move.

He seems to have an unhappy expression.
