Recent guests

We've had some guests to our home lately. First off is this lovely lady:







It's not unusual for us to have deer, but they're not normally this close to the house.


Our next visitors were a couple of these:




They just appeared one day, taking a dust bath in the hole my dogs dug in the backyard when they were mole hunting. We've got an adult red tail hawk that hangs out in the lower front yard and feasts on the crawdads in their little mud castles, so we're wondering if these are a couple of baby red tail hawks. Whatever they are, they're adorable. They've made 2 appearances so far.
