Video: Thirsty bun
Good morning! The yard is still slim pickings when it comes to birds but there was a thirsty bunny at the pond last night that I thought people might enjoy. It is still very mild out and I think I will give the pond one more thorough cleaning before I close it for the season.
Two days ago, there were Bluebirds at the Gilbertson box, and I heard them yesterday in the morning too. This made me incredibly happy because they have been absent since the Wren destroyed their eggs earlier this summer. I hope they will start sticking around again, I miss seeing these lovelies. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Sir Hoppy Swiftfoot, the resident snow bun, has been checking out the area around the bird bath more frequently recently. There is no seed there, and he does not seem to drink, so I am not sure why he likes the spot. But I love that he does :D The cam captured him during the day and at night.

This bunny has been coming every night all winter long, but tonight when we got quite a bit of snow, he made it up onto the feeder. This feeding station is about a foot off the ground, and I am very impressed with his survival skills. I also think he is super adorable.
Good night, stay warm and have a great Wednesday!
So I think
there is more than one bunny. The one we usually see still has the white dot on the forehead and is so small that he can’t reach the bowl. This one, however… :D
Good morning!
A cute new visitor has shown up in the garden, and I spotted it on the livestream just now. A tiny adorable baby bunny! I have been a little slow with photos lately, and I am sorry about that. The yard is still comparatively quiet because most birds are nesting right now, and we have been busy getting our veggie beds and the garden in shape. I have seen some hummingbirds around too, and I hope they will become more frequent and stop being so camera shy. The ghostly noises you hear on the livestream are the Starling babies. They have started to hang around yesterday and are basically heralding the arrival of the bird babies. I am also on the lookout for the Bluebird gang. So good things and more photos are coming soon, hopefully. In about two weeks, I will also make the first donation to Feeding America. I hope everyone has a splendid Monday!
