Persia is fascinated!
 
There's a young Starling right outside the window and it's a young one,
cheeping and scratching around the pine needles and stuff for bugs and
worms. It's a talkative bird, too, yak, yak yak; even got Peaches
chirping!. Persia is staring out the window as though someone glued her
butt to the floor :)

Is "chipmunk" the same thing as "woodchuck"? The only critters of this
nature
I know well are "opussums" and "raccoons". 'Possums are kinda
ratlike-looking
and very antisocial, generally, but in our experience harmless. Raccoons,
OTOH,
have a *lotta* nerve, are very intelligent (I'd swear they can reason) and
can do
limited damage in large numbers (even though cute, you don't wanna make pets
of them, it just doesn't work out well).

Dey aren't da same fing as woodchuks. Woodchuks are big. Chipmunks are
smaller dan skwerls and dey have stripies down dere baks and short little
tayles.

Woodchucks, possums and raccoons are not creatures of the "same
nature." They are not even related. Woodchucks, aka groundhogs (or
"whistle pigs" are rodents. Chipmunks, aka ground squirrels, are
also rodents, but quite different. They are related to squirrels,
mice, rats, voles, chinchillas, guinea pigs, prairie dogs and
hamsters.

Raccoons belong to their own distinct species, called Procyonidae.
They are related to the coatimundi and the kinkajou.

Opossums are different again. They are marsupials. The one we see
around is the Common opossum. They have a lot of relatives in South
America, and in Australia, but they are the only marsupial native to
the North American continent.
