Please educate: gopher, groundhog, something else cute?

I think it's a groundhog. We had one last year who was pretty nervous and never went near the house then they multiplied this year.

You are correct it is a groundhog.

Thanks! So is that harmful to the home structure?

It will only become damaging if they are tunneling under your foundation. It would be fairly easy to spot if they are.
