GROUNDHOGS: At the Den

   This video features a woodchuck looking out of its den on a path in DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst, when Junior butts in.
  As with my other videos, this one is best played with the sound "on."

  Note: I realize that it is a bad idea to take hang out in front of birds' nests or mammals' dens in an effort to get a family portrait. The animals feel threatened and cannot escape.

  For this video, I used a trick I learned minutes earlier from a professional cameraman: You put the video-cam on a tripod not too far from entrance, hit "record," and walk away. 

  Later on, you come back, retrieve the camera  and see what you caught on video. :-)
