Michigan has lots of birds. So many birds that even though you've seen them, you may not know their names.

Groundhogs, often known colloquially as woodchucks or whistle pigs, are members of the squirrel family, though their size might lead some to believe they're rodents. Weighing up to 15 lbs, they're significant creatures. Their recent abundance in Michigan is due to emerging from hibernation and birthing season, resulting in a noticeable uptick in sightings. Homeowners can deter groundhogs from yards and gardens with various methods recommended by Michigan DNR, as these animals are considered nuisances and can be legally dealt with. However, it's important to approach them cautiously due to potential disease transmission and their tendency to become aggressive if provoked.
