Groundhog, wood chuck and also a Marmot which we saw in Rocky Mountain National Park. These critters have a lot of cousins throughout the U.S. Let us also not forget the Geico commercial (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHfbLlcJMuA.html)
Thanks, Dave. Snow this morning but just as nice. The orange & yellow leaves on the trees make for a beautiful contrast. Some trees are still green with a hint of burnt-brown.
Ed, My mother used to ask me (when I was very very young) "How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?". Any info would be greatly appreciated. Ride safely, bf
I found this on an American Forestry Association site (Ed): New York state wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could (and does) chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds.
In the Summer, there are fishermen, kayakers, canoers and yes..., swimmers in th water. One day I looked out and saw a bunch of people seated on folding chairs for a Baptismal. It should be in public hands.
@@LogNotching Appears to be a trout stream. I would fly fish every few days to put some trout on the table or just release. Sound of a stream is so relaxing. You are blessed.
@@steves.922 Trout are stocked every now and them for fishing derby's and I do see more fly fishermen than bait or lure casting. I've known some 'regulars' who will drive from 25-miles away to fish here. One day I saw a man running through the yard going toward the street, thinking someone was hurt. Then he came running back with a 5-gallon pail. Curious, I went down to the stream only to see a fish tail flapping above the rim of the pail. It does my heart good to see peeps having a good time.
