Groundhog in a tree



You know the saying 'you learn something new everyday'? After hearing the usually quiet neighbor's dog barking, we went down by the creek and saw this sight. This old groundhog (aka woodchuck) was resting in a tree. I grew up in several places overrun with groundhogs - but I never saw something like this. Apparently, that is something they do to avoid predators or to rest... I had to share this random photo op.
