Animal Kingdom

Our back yard has been a virtual zoo (not counting the monkey flexing his arm in this picture). One night we found a baby cardinal that must have left his nest for the first time. His Mom and Dad kept chirping and flying down to check on him. After a few tries, he was able to fly up to a branch, then disappeared into the ferns.
While we were out there cheering him on, an adorable owl swooped down onto our tree. She probably likes to eat some of the mice that live in our attic.The next morning the cutest baby possum was sniffing around our patio. Yes, they are disgusting animals, but this tiny critter was actually cute. Until Maggie and Moxie went outside and he played dead. Who knows what will show up in our yard next!
