Babies on the move

It's the time of year for leaving the nest. Baby birds are fluttering around begging for food with loud insistant calls. They aren't the only babies out now.

A few mornings ago it was overcast and gloomy.

I was looking out the kitchen window.

I saw movement - something while and black flowing through the grass. It was Mama Skunk and her three babies, sticking close together and nosing through the wet grass for slugs.

I didn't get close enough for a good picture.

I did get close to another baby.

This one had left its mama.

See what's hiding in the grass?
It hopped right into the garden as if it were at home there.
What a teeny-tiny bunny!
