Groundhog

I spotted the groundhog for the first time this year, as I went to plant some beet seeds in the new raised bed. It was surprisingly fast - took a flying leap from the direction of the last blueberry, over the pile of rocks to behind the compost bins, and was gone when I checked just 30 seconds later. I assume through the hole at the bottom of the rock wall it dug rather than into the brush pile. I'm not sure if that hole is just a tunnel to the hillside or if there's also a borrow within it, but no sign of it in the yard.
