Nature Sightings Including Rabbits!

At home last weekend, an 8 Spotted Forester moth visited the armeria flowers. I like his orange thighs!....

 At the Park Tuesday AM, this squirrel had managed to get inside the "squirrel-proof" feeder! He nibbled sunflower seed from the bottom holes and started to panic when he couldn't leave. The green top is loose, but he didn't try that and finally squeezed out of a regular square!!!...

 At Chelsea on 5-30, we got to see the goose family. The goslings are now larger than ducks!...

 Here's one of the neighborhood rabbits who we've seen this year. On Wednesday, Hubby swore he saw some kits going in and out of the ivy with the mother nearby. I had read that once the kits leave the burrow, they are on their own. Not True. Kits leave den at about 14 days old, but aren't weaned until 4 or 5 weeks.....

 As soon as I got home, a baby bunny came out of the ivy! By the time I got outside w/camera, Mom was nursing the baby bun!!!! Never saw this before!! The grey small round blob in center of Mom's tummy is the kit....

 Mom sat up, but kit continued to nurse. (The oblong tan blob left of Mom's nose)....

 Both apart~~kit on far left. You need to double click ☺....

 A little blurry as I cropped out the kit. As far as we know, there's only been one kit spotted~~it just came in and out of the ivy several times when first seen....
