ooo there's a couple of these guys that hang out near the 49th street regional rail station. I always assumed they were groundhogs but i think they might be marmots based on this picture

Groundhog, aka woodchuck. Marmots only live at high altitude (Rocky Mountains etc)

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I'm here for the universal renaming of all groundhogs/woodchucks as marmots. These are some of my favorite animals, and it's always a treat to find them in the alpine. Hell yeah city marmots.

On a side note, I saw a beaver at John Heinz while birding last spring. Had no idea beavers were around. But I was 3ft away from it and got to watch it chew on sticks for a while at such a close distance. Very cool

Ahh good ol Pennypack. So many days spent there as a kid when I was forced into Cub/Boy scouts. Took my dog there recently as an adult and I think I enjoyed it for the first time.

I got one on video at the end of January! Was out running on the SRT a bit after sunrise, and saw what looked like a log floating downriver but it had a wake lol. It was right in front of that lighthouse thing at the end of boathouse row, where the statue used to be, prob like 10ft from shore. Headed downriver probably to that little island thing in between boathouse row and the dam

I’ve euthanized three from my yard that just woke up in the last week. These guys suck.

I prefer not to share. The difficulties they face with so many people already utilizing the watershed, they don’t need any additional pressure. I am going to edit my earlier comment to remove the location I already shared. I hope you understand and if not, my apologies.
