Bunny Rabbit Enjoying the Clover

Any day now the five tree swallow babies will fledge from the birdhouse in Dustin's garden. I have had to keep my distance the past few days. They will fledge early if they are disturbed and might not survive. They have to wait at least 18 days for their wings to fully develop. Tomorrow will be 18 days. My two butterfly bushes, sedum and my rose bush are all around the birdhouse. I have had to let them go for now. The weeds are growing in the garden. But soon the babies will all be gone. I noticed this bunny rabbit enjoying the weeds yesterday. This could be one of the babies that was born in the yard weeks ago. Snapped the photo from the deck.

There is something so calming and good knowing that a rabbit resides on your property. We had that also.

@thelme55 The birds are ready to fledge, the parents will dive bomb me if I get close, she is protecting them. And it could cause them to fledge too soon.

It's amazing how nature works. You have had to wait to tend the garden and in the meantime Mr. Bunny has taken up residence.

@CarolDM I am sure they feel safer hidden among the tall grass and weeds.

It's a nice photo. When Pretty and I go on our morning walks, there are several squirrels and bunnies that wander for a while with us... I just hope they don't do that with everyone... A lot of people here will shoot them if they aren't careful. We have several bunnies and squirrels that live in and around our yard. I love watching them play in the back yard. I get a good view of them from my kitchen window.

We had a rabbit in the yard at the house. We never saw it but we would see its tracks whenever it snowed
