Woodchucks, also called Groundhogs in Maine, are a common wild animal on the east coast. They dig deep burrows in the ground which disrupts soils and can undermine structures like building foundations. They are voracious vegetarians that can decimate gardens. Woodchucks hibernate in winter. This youngster has a tick in its ear. The tick is an engorged Dog tick.

February 3, 2013 "Grey Hairstreak"  It seems like spring is a little early this year as the butterflies are back in my yard.  February is practice month for me, practice at being retired,  I have a one month vacation before heading back to work in March and April before officially retiring.  Phyllis is not practicing - she turned in her papers and finished her career last Thursday.  My goal for the month is to be a little more consistent and start posting photos every day.
