Gotta say... I love having the birdbath on the deck railing. It provides me with so many photo opps... be it birds... or other creatures!
Soooo... yesterday you saw Mama's orange-and-white kitten. Sunday afternoon, his sibling (sex as yet undetermined, but I'll refer to it as "he", because that's my guess) appeared for a drink. Hmm... he sure looks like a lot of other cats around here, doesn't he? *sigh*
He had his drink, but he seemed very wary. He kept kind of ducking from something!
Then he hopped down to Mama and his ever-playful brother:
Suddenly both he and Mama were watching something in the sky. They looked one way...
... then the other way:
I finally saw that there was a big hawk flying back and forth above them. Now wouldn't that have made for an exciting... albeit sad... photo, if the hawk had swooped down and snatched that little black-and-white guy while I was taking a pic of him by the birdbath?! But they all headed safely under the deck for a while, and the hawk flew away.
Mama takes very good care of her babies. These two seem to be very healthy and not lacking for food. I did see her with a big fat mouse in her mouth calling to them on Saturday. She's the best mother cat and hunter ever.
