I can't be absolutely sure, since I wasn't with you, but there's a =
possibility that ground hog you saw may have been a muskrat.  I got =
fooled a couple of years ago when I saw this brown roly-poly fellow =
alongside the French Basin Trail at the Annapolis Royal Marsh, and =
assumed it was a ground hog/woodchuck.  However, after becoming more =
acquainted with the muskrats that inhabit that marsh, I realized that's =
what I had seen (I had taken several pics of him/her two years ago, so =
was able to make that determination).  Yesterday, I saw two young =
fellows sitting side by side nibbling away on cattail shoots.  I posted =
a shot of them to my blog.

  Hi all again:
  =20
  I forgot to mention that there was a young deer today at the French =
Basin trail with all white spots and also a ground hog. =20
  =20
  At Kingsburg Beach there was an adult fox with a snowshoe hare in it's =
mouth.  I suspect that it has had a second litter there.  I had a pair =
near there with three kits over a month ago and the kits should be grown =
enough now to fend for themselves.  I had two more red foxes on a lawn =
at Lower Rose Bay where a pair had three other kits that I know of.  So =
three red foxes for the evening in two locations.
