Observations...

So, i was sitting out on the patio last Sunday morning enjoying a cup of coffee. I discovered:
  • One must be prepared to duck if sitting in a nut hatch fly zone. They do not veer off of their course to the suet feeder.
  • Young bunnies love to run in trenches (like the one surrounding the birch trees). And the will run in endless circles. Nascar bunnies...
  • All birdbaths are for the use and pleasure of the Robins... and they can turn the water to a murky, muddy mess very quickly.

Bunnys Galore...!!!

So last week i thought that i had one baby bunny in the garden... then two, then three... triplets. Then this morning as i gazed out the window that overlooks the garden i got the total picture. One, two, three baby bunnies on the lower path... AND one, tow, three on the upper path... AND some rustling leaves in another spot. SO, SIX BABY BUNNIES for sure and possibly seven. YIKES!!! And each one of those hungry little baby bunnies with sharp teeth is dining in my garden!

I did notice that they are very beneficial for trail maintenance... last year i could barely walk on the paths because the california poppies were sprawling all over the place. I just wish i could get them to eat the sweet woodruff that is running rampant... or even have the decency to do as my little baby bunny did last year and eat the dandelions. So, to prevent the little buggers from eat everything in my garden... out came the liquid fence and its nasty taste. Hopefully it will get them to move onto other plants outside my garden!
