    Oh I love all your visitors!! Even the tomato horn worm and the groundhogs. We have a small one that is under our shed, he comes on the patio and eats the cat kibble we put out. There are several others in the field and under the lower shed that eat the seeds at the the feeder.

    Very nice, that first picture looks like it could be on a spring calendar.
    Is that furry thing in the cage a groundhog?....never seen one before, dont have them here.
    What damage do they do?He looks quite nice and soft to touch....how could you not like him?

    Chocolate, Yes they are groundhogs. You would not think they were nice if you saw the distruction they can do to a veggie garden in one days time. Most people shoot them. But I can't aim straight. So I take them for long rides.:)

    You have leopard frogs!! My ponds use to have many varieties, now there are only bullfrogs. Lots of bullfrogs. It was nice of you to give the groundhogs a long ride to the 'countryside'. So many meet with an untimely demise while hitchhiking. I'm sure they will visit many long lost cousins while in their new home.
