I wanted to post one last time to wrap everything up. My husband broke down our temporary shelter, there were no bunnies left in the nest and no evidence of any kits that didn’t make it. This just goes to show how resilient wildlife is. Unfortunately there was at least one caught by the...

With all the rain we’ve been getting my husband had to mow last weekend, he didn’t get very close, but never the less a couple took off on us. I’m sure it was quite the show watching us trying to corral the couple back towards the nest. Momma is still visiting, but these bunnies are roaming on...
