Be careful when you mow Marilyn. They're so tiny you can miss seeing them & they get so freaked they're libel to run right into the mower. We had some in our yard & it came close a few times.

They're adorable! great photos too.

Thanks!

DH and I aren't able to mow the grass, so we have a guy (think he's mid to late 20's or so) that does it. I'll have to mention next time he's out here to be on the lookout for the little bunnies.

This is not in anyone's garden but I thought you might like to see these photos anyway. They're pretty cool.

Way cool. I was especially impressed with how well the larger animals blend in.

I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

YVW! I felt the same way Deb. Amazing isn't it?

Very hard to spot some of them. Reminds me of the fox that I didn't spot until it ran away.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

Since it is feral, I'll count this rooster as wildlife. Although...as much time as the two of them spent in my yard this winter, maybe only sort of wild. Obviously, they derive some degree of safety from staying close a lot. And the food might be better here, I guess.

Yes, he does seem to be a handsome boy. He goes through phases where he pecks at objects that reflect his own image. I guess he's trying to defend his territory!

In late May, at the edge of our yard, we saw a mama wild rabbit feeding her 5 adorable tiny babies! First time we ever witnessed it.

Finally on May 23 (a few days later), DH was able to get some pics of the baby rabbits, but not of the mama feeding the babies.

He took a few videos also. Two of the videos are of mama bunny feeding her 5 babies.

First, the pics....

I can't get the videos to post and show up here.

It's a good thing DH got the pics and videos on the 23, because we didn't see the mama bunny and her 5 babies after that together. We still see little bunnies in the yard, but not together like they were before.
