Not your average Beach Critter

How much Driftwood would a woodchuck chuck. Captured this guy hustling across the road at Sohier Park which is where you go to see Nubble Lighthouse.

Oh my, he is chunky :-)

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great find! I used to see woodchucks all the time, but haven't seen them much lately.

[Louise & Ken]

Isn't it fun when you capture something exciting and so unexpectedly?!

[Bucktree]

Wonderful capture.

[Mags]

Oh how cute!

[KV]

What a cool critter… reminds me of the three groundhogs I saw today.

[Joan Robillard]

@kvphoto Groundhog - woodchuck the name is for the same critter.

[Lisa Brown]

cute little guy

[KoalaGardens🐨]

ooooh how fab

[Shutterbug]

A new one to me. Nice capture.

[Jane Pittenger]

Looks like he’s got a plan

[Ann H. LeFevre]

He's probably taking advantage of all the homes nearby and their gardens. good catch!

[Rick]

Great capture. Haven't seen those before.

[Babs]

What an interesting find.

[Bill]

Looks like it is going to do a little sunbathing.

[Valerie Chesney]

Such an exciting capture Joan!

[John]

Looking like he’s making haste going wherever he’s going.

[Diana]

What a great find and shot!

[Rob Z]

He's very different to anything I can identify. What exactly is he or what is he related to? Pretty cool for you to see him just motoring along. :)

[Joan Robillard]

@robz I don't know a lot about them but here is a little info - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog

[Brian]

Wow!

[Rob Z]

Thanks so much for the link Joan - it was really interesting to read. I had somehow got the impression that he was much bigger -. probably because he's so chunky. I would have never guessed that he was a rodent...

[Dione Giorgio]

Cute creature. A great find and shot. Fav.
