Hope you don't have a garden....... if so, you probably won't think they are so cute.

Maybe the Last Photo in Nest
 

Well I just took a peek in the nest and these guys are really getting big. One of them bolted across the yard. I had to chase him down, put him in my ball cap, and put him back in the nest. I was lucky to catch him.

Anyway there are only 6 in there now, so either 2 were someone's lunch or they already left the nest. I can't imagine and animal would have eaten 2 and left the rest. I hope it's the later.

Also, I say a gray fox in my backyard today. I hope he doesn't come back.

Cheers!

Pretty amazing if you think about it.....rabbits having a gestation period of about thirty days!!! Hence the rabbit fornication jokes I suppose....:rolleyes: :D

The rabbits ate all the flowers my wife planted around the house.

Well this morning they are all gone. I sort expected to wake up this morning and not find them.

A bit of sad news though, I found one on the lawn, not sure what happened to him, but at least one didn't make it.

I hope the rest of them made it ok.

Rabbitts aren't the only babies in my yard
 

Here's another little guy I dound venturing from the nest.

sadly it looks like he fell or was pushed out of the nest, to young to fly yet, looks like a blue jay chick...

he was probly the weakest in the nest either that or he got to close to the edge....

thats a great photo though, really clear....

poor lil guy:(

That may be true, but amazingly I actually caught the mother (or father) feeding the little guy on the ground. Also, they were sticking close to him from the tree above. I couldn't see a nest anywhere though or I'd try to put him back in. He's pretty mobil hopping all around so perhaps the nest is a way off.

BlueJays will kick your ass if you get too close to the nest/baby.

The little bird is doing great. He's doing short little test flights all over the yard with mommy watching close by. Here's a picture of mommy.

And I can confirm that from experience. I got to close to one w/ out realizing it and the next thing I know WHAMMM!! The bird is smacking the crap out of the back of my head.....and they weren't love taps.

AWESOME!!!! I am glad to hear that he is doing good and doing test flights!! ...lol...


Another mommy doing her job! YAY! for mother nature!


and yes Blue Jays will give ya a run for your money...lol...my dog knows that personally...hahah...nothing like seeing a big rotty running around the yard trying to hide from this lil bird...:laughs:

Adult birds will abandon their nest and young if you disturb them. Best thing to do is stay away and let momma take care of its baby.
