Birds, Bunnies and Squirrels

I guess little animals just love our place! This year I've seen so many baby rabbits, birds and squirrels in our yard!


Somewhere around Mid-April, I noticed a bird nest right outside the back door in that little pine tree. I also noticed that everytime I went out that door, a bird would go flying out of the nest so I decided to take a peek inside!

Three Robin Eggs!!!


















So the next morning, I decided to check on the eggs again and two of the eggs had hatched!! Ugly little things aren't they?? Later that day the third egg had hatched.



I took another peek in the nest yesterday. They finally have feathers but they're still ugly!! The daddy actually helps take care of them too! We've seen the mom and dad hunting for worms for them.

Ok, so yesterday, I notice in the landscaping out front that something's been digging and trying to make a nest. I know this is where a mama Rabbit had her bunnies because I've seen them all over the yard.

Yesterday on the other side of the house, I noticed another bird nest in the water hose holder so I went to take a look:

4 Robin Eggs this time!


The mother is very close by so I don't mess with the nest much. I'm afraid she might swoop down on me and peck me to death!! Birds freak me out!!



I just took these pictures while standing on my front porch. He was probably 10 feet away from me.
