Re: groundhogs



Reminder: Though I'm sure all of us are interested in other things, 
Carolinabirds is about birds and birding.  Further discussion of groundhogs, 
coyotes, and other non-birds should be directed to a more appropriate group 
if the messages have no bird-related content. 
Try Bill Hilton's Nature Study Network:

Groundhogs are native - the Raleigh-Durham area is near their southern 
limit. They're common in northern Durham County but rare in southern Durham. 
Same goes for Chipmunks.

ObBird*: I've entered birding links for the world (including comprehensive 
links for N. and S. Carolina and the rest of the US and Canada) at
