Saw 2 of these in my back yard today. I have seen them before, but, every time I open the door to take a picture, they take off. Today, I went out through the garage and snuck around to the back and was able to get pretty close to them. They went about eating and jumping around from the shade to the sun for about 15 minutes while I took the pictures.
