This afternoon I was sitting in my dining room watching
the birds at the feeders when something caught my eye.
It was a groundhog coming down from the field and
going into a hole behind my Playhouse. He no more
went in and he came flying out with another bigger
groundhog right behind him. I had the camera
in hand but it happened so fast I missed it.
Just a minute passes and the bigger groundhog
returns and takes up a watch at the top of his hole.

Let's watch and see what he does next.
This is my hole and I am going to guard it from thatintruder.
If I could just stay awake..
Why did that guy have to wake me up...
I'll turn this way maybe I'll see him coming this time.
It's really hard staying awake.
all right, I have my eyes open now. I'm watching
oops, asleep again!(The next three pictures just amazed me)
He's so sleepy he starts to yawn..... HOOOO
even bigger HOOOOOO
Look at the size that open mouth.... Hoooooo hum
He just can't wake up.
no matter how hard he tries
I can almost hear him snoring with his nose turned up
then he nods off again
One last try to have a look around
trying real hard to keep those eyes open
He turned and disappeared down his hole not to be seen
again that afternoon. Maybe Spring is coming ..
But not today.

Very cool series! Good thing they aren't carnivores with a mouth like that!! Thanks for sharing and hopefully spring will be here soon. BTW-Love the Steelers insignia!
What an awesome post Jalynn! Imagine that your own ground hog.
Great story!
Craig
always wondered what a ground hog looked like
Bud.
Thanks Michele - Go Steelers
Craig: I have more than one and later in the Spring there will be babies...
My Budgies: I'm glad you got to see a groundhog... They hibernate and this is about the time they emerge, but apparently this one was still sleepy!
How cute is that - a sleepy groundhog!! I love how you caught him yawning! He must've been doing some late night partying in the yard maybe....
This was a GOOD one! I just loved this sleepy guy, yawning and nodding away. I guess this means spring is still aways off :-)
I stopped and read your blog and looked at the photograph. I just wanted you to know I am not nuts about groundhogs but I would not chase them out. I don't know what I will do if a skunk ever takes up residence.
Great series!! I enjoyed this.
Awesome series! That yawn was absolutely adorable! Great behavior captured! Thanx!
Oh, he's so cute, and the photos are terrific! And the bluejay from your last post is gorgeous!
