Wildlife around our house

Some photos of recent visitors to our house:

I love dragonflies although I don't know the difference between them and damselflies.

Unfortunately this rabbit seems quite unafraid of humans and I got quite close before s/he moseyed away.


I was quite surprised to see this creature (ground hog?) when I went to investigate what was driving our cats crazy.

This photo was taken just before the "babies" were big enough to leave the nest. Once they were gone, the nest was removed and the pillar and front porch were power washed. We may have to resort to putting up nails or barbs on top of the pillars as this was the 3rd nest since we moved in this year.
