@JanLuitPhotos beautiful capture Jan! I had the opportunity to watch some in the Austrian Alps some weeks ago. They are really cute!

@KarenKasparArt

Thank you Karen they are also funny to watch at times.

@JanLuitPhotos From Wikipedia “The groundhog is also referred to as a chuck, wood-shock, groundpig, whistlepig, whistler, thickwood badger, Canada marmot, monax, moonack, weenusk, red monk, land beaver, among French Canadians in eastern Canada, siffleux. The name "thickwood badger" was given in the Northwest to distinguish it from the prairie badger. Monax (Móonack) is an Algonquian name of the woodchuck, which means "digger". Young groundhogs may be called chucklings.” My favorite -Whistlepig
