Tasty apples

Whenever we have apples, which is pretty often, we leave the cores in the yard. The squirrels and rabbits love them. Click on pictures to enlarge.

Love that nose!

I feel like this rabbit and I know each other very well. We see each other pretty much every day. She has a great little place under a shrub where she spends most of the day. When I am out in the yard, she comes over and hangs out on the periphery.  We have a nice respect for each other.  She never gets closer than a couple of feet and I never make any sudden moves. We get along. She’s probably getting a little tired of having her picture taken. 🙂

Lone pelican

There has been a lone pelican hanging out at the Wakarusa Wetlands recently. I hope he is okay. I’m guessing he is a young one who was blown off course during one of the many recent storms and is resting here for a while. I wish him the best on the rest of his journey.

Goslings!

I haven’t seen many goslings this spring. I don’t know if it is weather-related or something else. Perhaps, it is just me not being in the right place at the right time. Anyway, I was delighted to find a large group at the Wakarusa Wetlands (even if they’re almost grown now). Click on pictures to enlarge.

Bathing beauty

We have a neighborhood bluejay who likes to scare everyone with his/her red-tailed hawk call. Today, I heard the call outside my office window. There she/he was, bathing and screeching. Very cool bird! Click on pictures to enlarge.
