Backyard visitor update


This just in... Willy the Woodchuck(shown here in early May) may in fact be Willemina!! Two "little Willys" have been spotted scampering into the woods. More on this as the story develops!

Oh my.....who is brave enough to check the sex of Willy? If this is a picture of Mom, how big might Dad be? I think you live in a wildlife perserve!

Never thought about that...where is Daddy?

I really don't know if Willy is the daddy or the mommy- i'm just guessing.

2 very good sized woodchucks ran into the woods behind your house when I came by this afternoon. They seemed to have run out from under the back porch next to the garage...did you check to see if there is any kind of nest or anything near that vicinity??

I haven't checked there but we know there is a hole in the front, to the right of the driveway right at the edge of the wooded area. We think that is "woodchuck central" but we'll have to check around. I wonder if the ones you saw were the parents. The babies don't seem to be that big yet.
