Goings and Comings...

It seems that the baby bunnies have all disappeared! I was getting overwhelmed by the seven if not more of them... but now i miss them. I miss the of trail maintenance from their nibbling. I came to realize that baby bunnies don't nibble where plants are thick... they nibble on the edges. I'm not totally sure as to what became of the bunnies... but i did notice a cat in the vicinity a day or two after the disappearance. Or maybe the bunnies evacuated to another location.

and the mockingbird has moved on... Last weekend it had me a little crazy with it's loud and long mocking of bird songs... in rapid succession... over and over again. So on one level i am relieved that it has moved on and sad that it has moved on.

but the newest bird to make it's presence know in a catbird. It isn't nearly as exasperating of a sound as the mocking bird... and a very dapper bird to watch.

and a pair of hummingbird are enjoying the coral bell flowers. It seems to be one of their favorites. This evening i stood and watched the male ruby-throated hummingbird feeding on the coral bells. I was delighted to watch it land on the stem of the flower, gently bending down... not too far... and it continued to feed. Then it flew off zipping less than a foot in front of my nose!
