Amen! To the second paragraph.

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.
