Chelsea Critters

On June 13, this is all we saw of the first Spotty alone at Chelsea farm office!....

 It spent the rest of the day hidden in the tall grass....

 Yesterday, June 20, we had a big surprise! A Spotty appeared in the front yard....

 Then a twin, Striper!....

 They headed into the field toward the big holly tree....

 In a half an hour, they came out of the field....

 This is the second fawn. Note the "stripes" on the back of neck......

 Here is Spotty. His neck markings start to become spots half way down....

 Back into the field....

 ...for a nap under the holly tree...

 The goose family on 6-6. Young now have black and white tails and are getting chin straps that are still gray, not white......

Park Eagle Nest 6-2-12 +

Tuesday, a week ago, tried to check the nest. Was very bright, but the camera saw something! One in the nest. Earlier had seen large dark bird fly across the stream valley in front of nest. A juvie???.....

 Starting to flap!......

 "I'm flying!!!"....

 "I'm back!"....

 "Think I'll climb the tree!"....

 Almost out of sight except for the tail!!.....

 The Tale of the Tail!......

 Last Saturday, looked like an MT nest, unless someone is taking a nap!....

Rabbits, 5-31-12

TWO!!!!! kits on Thursday!!...

 Heads and tails!.....

 We've eaten our salad. Where is Mom?...

 Soon Mom arrived for din din.......

 She wants to walk, but someone's still hungry.....

 Nose to nose.....

 One bunny had run ahead, closer to the house, but Mom and other one (in front of Mom) stayed still for awhile......

Little bit blurry pic of one kit. Both ran toward the rock garden next to the patio

 Mom was right behind.  One went through the fence behind the ivy into the next yard!! This one jumped into the garden and Mom went there. We don't know where they spent the night. Maybe they'll come back?!.....
