I love your photos! Wasn't sure where to post this. But he/she is so cute! We've taken to calling him/her "Phil".
Take care.

Was lucky enough to help take care of one as a volunteer at a wildlife center when I was very young. Like, before the Louisiana Puchase.😄

Maybe Phil is a descendant of a woodchuck you helped. Phil had a nibble on my Mother's Day basil plant today. Phil chowed down on it like it was spaghetti. So cute I couldn't be mad! Take care.

Phil is so cute. This is the 2nd year that a woodchuck has come into the backyard. Not sure it's the same one, this one looks smaller.
Each one has been called Phil after the Phil Connors character from Groundhog Day. Phil hangs around for a while eating birdseed and plants, then moves on. Thanks for your kind post, you take care.
