WOODCHUCKS: The Video

    This video features a woodchuck looking out of its den on a path in DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst, when Junior butts in.
    For more information on this abundant Meadowlands mammal, click here.
  Note: I realize that it is a bad idea to take hang out in front of birds' nests or mammals' dens in an effort to get a family portrait. The animals feel threatened and cannot escape.

  For this video, I used a trick I learned minutes earlier from a professional cameraman: You put the video-cam on a tripod not too far from entrance, hit "record," and walk away. 

  Later on, you come back, retrieve the camera  and see what you caught on video. :-)

I love the Groundhogs! We always have great conversations together when ever they visit me in my garden, they are great listeners and always seem to be interested in what ever I have to say....as long as I provide the carrots

Sounds like quite a few people I know.
