Resting under the Crape Myrtle

My newest additions to the back yard sanctuary.  These guys first showed up about a month ago.  See their first pictures here.  They just hang out in the garden most of the time.  Occasionally I try to get them to leave because I fear Luna, my older fat cat will get them:  they are just her speed.   I shot this last week after I shooed them up off the ground.  They made their way to the garage roof under the crape myrtle where they can rest and still have watch over the garden.
