Over a year ago, I blogged about a nest of baby bunnies I found in the front yard. It didn't happen this spring, even though we have plenty of bunnies roaming the yard. I've been busy lately and haven't gotten a chance to mow the yard for awhile. Rain is in the forecast for the next couple of days, so I thought I'd better get out there and do it. While mowing the front yard, I happened to notice the telltale pile of dried grass and tufts of fur. (Mama bunny pulls out her own fur to cover the nest and keep the babies warm.) Baby Bunnieeeeeeeeeeeeees! I left a wide berth in my mowing so I wouldn't scare them. Then I went and got my camera and carefully pulled back the covering with a dried plant stalk. I couldn't uncover them too much because they were scared and squeaked at me. Looks like there are three again this year and they also look old enough to be leaving the nest soon. (There were three last year too, but one met with an untimely death.) I wasn't expecting them at this time of year, but they sure are cute!
