Uncommonly cute. They bite, but not me. (Yet.)

Really nice capture. Plus the bonus in "capturing" these by photo is this little family still gets to be wild and free.

Oh my, what a gorgeous family. Odd to see them out in the daylight.

@Sherri: Indeed. Almost the only time they abandon their nocturnal activities is when they are very sick, or seeking food for their young. Fortunately, this was a case of the latter.

They strayed so close to my blind that I had to wait for them to wander a short distance away in order to bring them into focus with the lens I had at hand.
