Do you or a neighbor have a bird feeder? Squirrels and chipmunks can carry them a distance and hide them in the grass to eat later. These look like sunflowers just starting to sprout.
Yes - you're totally onto something. I just put up a bird feeder a few weeks ago and sunflower seeds are part of the mix I've been using.
Is there any remedy other than constantly pulling these guys up? All I wanted to do was to have a little diversion outside my window and I think I'm in for a little more than I bargained for!
Those are seedling leaves not what the mature leaf will eventually look like. They do have the characteristic look of some vegetable seedlings. What is growing nearby, that should give an indication of what they are.
That was my thought as well. It's too early to tell.

Tell me about it! I have next door neighbors who I adore, except for their bird feeder. The birds eat the seeds in their yard, and poop out the thistle seeds in my yard. Always fresh thistles in case anyone needs some...

The seedlings in your pics are in your lawn, right? Mowing will get them.
They're annuals, so they won't resprout from the root.
And you might let some grow and go to seed, depending on where they are. They're decorative, after all.

Those are cotyledon leaves.
