Our lone pine tree in the backyard had become the home of one (maybe two) robin families. We've been observing the nest and noticing when the parents would hunt for food and feed the babies. Lately, the birds have not been using the nest, and I feared the babies had been knocked out during the last storm. Surprisingly, last night, we saw one of the babies alive and well. His parents were hunting for food and feeding him right there on the ground.
Another critter that has felt welcomed into our yard is the little wild bunny. We've watched him munch on the endless amount of clover available in the backyard, and have also noticed evidence that he's found the wild strawberries that grow along the fence line.
The girls were so excited to watch from our back door. I'm so glad that these animals feel safe in our yard and have chosen it as a place to live. We are very lucky to be able to watch them.
