This is the 3rd year that we have had baby bunnies born
in our back yard. We live in a housing area that used to be
a pasture, and before that a cotton field. I guess no one
told the rabbits that we moved in.
This year 4 bunnies were found in a small hole in the ground,
between our 2 bedroom windows. I took Lyssie, our
granddaughter, to see the bunnies. I slowly and carefully
uncovered the hole.
FYI:Rabbits dig out the ground and cover the hole with
grass and bunny fur.
Lyssie knew to be very quiet and not to move too quickly,
but when she picked up one snuggly little bunny, it wiggled
unexpectedly in her hand and all of the bunnies scattered
from the hole.
For the next few minutes, we were running and crawling
and searching for lost bunnies. Finally we gathered all 4
bunnies and placed them back in their secret hideaway.
Whew!
Update: Today, we found the hole empty, Momma and
the little family have gone to find greener pastures.
And last night, we found a small bird's nest in the wreath
at our front door. Three eggs, 2 light blue and one brown
with spots. What is this? Madison Zoo?
