On our bike ride today, crossing the Platte, the little one almost got washed away.

Here's one of our many yard bunnies, a desert subspecies of the Nuttall's Cottontail, eating wormwood. The lower leaves on this plant have been eaten off so bunny has to reach. Another popular plant we have in the yard is winterfat, so named because it is used by deer, rabbits and other animals through the winter.
Our rabbit numbers have dropped recently. Last evening we spotted a Long-eared Owl in the yard and suspect it has been feasting in the rabbit garden.

Yeah...I like the bunnies. I have a couple of young ones hanging outside my kitchen window every morning. I watch them as I make coffee. One is always running around like his cotton tail's on fire...he's a hoot. Unfortunately for the bunnies we have 3 Jack Russells. I do my best to keep them from chasing the rabbits...but so far it's Terrier 1, Bunnies 0.
Saw this little guy on another Platte adventure today.

Poor thing, gotta be rough trying to survive with a broken beak. I've gotten to be a real softie for little birds. Lord knows I was a terror on them with a BB gun when I was a kid, now I'm their friend. I'd LOVE to have hummers hanging around.Quote:

While I think it would be a great challenge, very unlikely to happen. I have had a couple of run ins with badgers and unless absolutely necessary, will not mess with them.

Out for another adventure today, chased this guy off of a heavily traveled dirt road, to avoid being ran over.

My mom has had some hawks around her place the last few days. She first saw it when it landed on the porch while she was outside reading and the cat was sitting in the sun. She said the wingspan was the same as hers.
The next day my brother sent photos of one hawk carrying a rabbit and dropping it onto the neighbor's roof where the two hawks shared it together. She sent me these pictures today. Mom is frustrated because the cat hangs outside a lot and is one of those cats that kills mice and stuff in the yard. So, the hawk is interested in the cat, as is evidenced by showing up while my mom was on the porch, but the cat is also interested in the hawk because she doesn't know any better. I guess it's a Red Tail hawk.
