While it is true Ground Hogs are originated in the east. We do find these creatures and some claim they are truly ground squirrels one needs to go to Yosemite in search of them. I see them at local parks and on people's property. Monterey Bay 17 mile lane shore happens to get the most visited spoiled ones getting fed every hour on the hour by tourists.  My way of detection is when the spring comes my raspiratory system reacts to pollanation in the air.  The count is merely 30 but my reaction is noticable especially on a Monday.

Those California ground hogs are smarter as they are already experiencing Spring and don't have to wait another six weeks.

Here in Montana, we don't have official groundhogs, but we have marmots instead.

I have not seen any groundhogs during any of my visits to California, although I never really looked for them either, haha.  I wish that San Jose were closer to Solana Beach since I will be in Solana Beach in December, and it would be nice to meet you in person.

Sam, we have these rodents in our mountains also, but we do call them ground squirrels too.
