Meet 'Chuckie'. He visits our yard pretty much everyday to much on the yummy grass. He usually sticks to one patch of the backyard, but today I caught him trying to catch a view of how far his domain reached. Sony A9 / 200-600 G OSS

Cute shot! I have one that sits on top of a fence post in my horse pasture. They certainly have the claws for climbing!

How unusual!

I have seen Groundhogs and Marmots climb before, but only a couple of feet off the ground. . Seeing one up high like that is really cool!

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

I can't speak about marmots, but groundhogs will climb this time of year to eat the buds on some trees. I've seen it a few times by New Jersey groundhogs. As their food grows in, they'll have less need for climbing.

Yea he was up there. He visits my yard very regularly but this was the first time I've seen him up in the tree before.
