Annual visit by a



pair of grosbeaks - blackheaded. (photo by Doug, of course. I was thinking of posting some of my fuzzy humingbird pictures, but this is so much better, natch). Also in the wildlife report today: I saw Woody from the kitchen window carrying something across the yard in his mouth and yelled at him to put it down which he did. At first I thought it was a squirrel, but it turned out to be a baby bunny. Just as I figured out what it was the cat appeared and I had to scream at her pretty viciously to get her to run away, which, of course, appeared to have scared the bunny to death. We got the animals into the house and after a few minutes the bunny hopped off to the woods. It did appear to have a wound on its back (inflicted by the cat, I'm sure, previous to Woody's attempt to retrieve the poor thing).

Andy says, "Bunnies have to learn not to hang around there!" You'll have to put up a Danger to Bunnies sign to keep them safely hidden in the woods. Good job saving its life. I'm sure it's mama will take care of the wound.

I wonder why I can't comment on your Kermit post. Did you set that one up differently? I like the frog -- ah, the peace of wild things -- like US!

I think it's because I didn't have any words in my post. That's the only reason I can think of. I didn't change anything.
