Friday's Foto

I spotted this Groundhog taking a nap in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery. I suspect that he was roused from sleep in his den by a team of landscape workers nearby. The shade from a stand of large oaks and the cool paving stones must have felt good in the 90+ degree mid-afternoon weather. This large squirrel is native to North America and Green-Wood Cemetery is one of only a few places where remnant populations can still be found within New York City.

A couple of woodchucks have also taken up residence at Fort Tryon in northern Manhattan. Some photos from this past July:
