Baby Rabbits

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. Was mowing the lawn today and found these little guys nested right on my fron lawn.

I hope they didn't make too much of a mess to the deck of the mower
Just kidding!
We've got a birds nest(robins) under the overhang on my garage on top of an outside light.
The mother has been sitting in there for quite a while and the eggs hatched over a week ago, my kids have been having a ball watching the whole process

Brutal crowd. I knew tha "bait" jokes would come quick.

Didn't do anything with them. Left them right there, although yesterday there was a foot of grass around the hole and now there's nothing. I'm hoping the mother will move them some place but I'm worried she may not come back.

Take good care of them Fish On....if the mother does not return, call a local Audobon Society, they might be able to put them in good, caring hands to raise them until they can be released.

Actually, the NewEngland Wildlife Center in Hingham deals with this kind of stuff all the time.

There is a fine line that seperates a fisherman from a fool standing in water swinging a stick.

No coyotes, but we do have other predators around here. This one's been hanging around today. I hope he doesn't find my bunnies.

ps: they are doing great, mom's been back every day. Hopefully this guy doesn't see her going to the nest.

Here's a picture from today. These guys are really getting bigger! Eyes are wide open now and they are actually making little bunny noises.

looks like its getting crowded in there. We had only 3 in a hole this year. They grew real fast. I still see them when im cutting the lawn,as they spook out of the shrubs. they are fun to watch.

There's 8 in this hole if you can believe it. I want to get some pictures when the first come out of the hole but I'm afraid I'll miss it. I don't think it will be long before they are hopping about on there own.

Wow, not sure how long they will be in the nest now. They are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
