3 ­– In background behind pile, heading toward left.  [Single woodchuck: this lateral view is distant (benefits from enlargement), showing grizzled body, low posture while moving, restricted neck, and a tail of medium length that are indicative of the woodchuck.]

4 ­– On pile, likely facing toward camera. [Single woodchuck: this view is largely obscured by pile material, but shows grizzled dorsal region towards rear and browner shoulder region typical of the woodchuck.  This particular image is part of a long series of images that includes many clearly defined views of a visiting woodchuck.]
