I was amused by Marcia's account of the groundhog in the
mulberry tree.  I recently saw my first groundhog in a tree
out at Lucketts, Loudoun Co. VA.  It was about 8ft. up a
12 ft. sapling and was busily eating the young leaves and
shoots at the ends of the branches.  It looked most odd but
seemed to be quite at ease.  

A word of warning about mulberry trees:  You better have a
garage or at least a carport.  The mulberries seem to have the
usual effect on bird bowels.
