In my backyard: Bambi times two
Look who decided to pay me a visit the other day: Does it get much cuter than that? And they came almost right up to the house. Mama kept a close watch from the edge of the woods.

Southborough wildlife: Things that fly edition
Since we’re identifying critters this week, anyone know what kind of butterfly this is? I spotted it while on a walk through the woods a few weeks ago.
