Marta and I helped feed the hungry today see the smile in the photos

We are used to all sorts of critters stopping by to help themselves to bird food. This is the first time we got a Groundhog to stop by on film. We have four more photos. We knew s/he was in the area. S/he came right up after Marta put some bread out this afternoon. On the other side of our back yard fence is Fontenelle Forest.

I was trying to train him to wear a shark costume and ride a rhumba chasing a baby duck. But not much luck with that.

There's one in our neighborhood, but I've only seen it once in my yard. It was shelling a peanut, just like its smaller cousins. I hope to see it more often.
