Baby Groundhog

Two very adorable baby groundhogs have been wandering around the yard this weekend. From what I gather, these are probably about six weeks old — they're about the size of squirrels, still a bit wobbly on their legs, and seem remarkably unconcerned about people, unless you get too close (they'll begin to chatter a bit to try to scare you off).

This one made itself at home for a time in a corner of the front yard among some fluff from a mouse's nest.
