The End of Yard Bunnies
Zach has enjoyed having these bunnies nesting in the yard. He was checking on them daily and inviting the children out to see them. The last few days he’s gone so far as to extract the little critters from their home. Their eyes have opened up and they’re now furry and as they grow they have become more and more able. 
The last few times he had taken them out, one has made a run for it (or a hop for it to be more literal) and Zach has had to chase it down before putting it back in it’s nest. 
Yesterday he had a bunny out and had somehow scared it. The bunny started making this noise which must be some sort of warning call because all of the bunnies hopped out of the nest and hopped off in every direction. Three of them made it across the street and into a thicket. The forth one was captured and put back into his nest, but he jumped out again. Zach went inside for a short time before venturing out in search of the bunnies only to scare the mother bunny as she came back to gather her babies. Long story short, we no longer have a nest of bunnies in the front yard.
Poor little bunnies! They’re probably safer in a less exposed place, but I’m sad they’re not in the yard anymore. I’ve never heard a rabbit make a noise so that tiny thing must have been pretty scared…maybe of Zach’s shirt. :)
I would have thought they’d be safer in a less exposed place too, but Zach says that predators don’t like to come out into exposed places so they’re actually safer there and you have to be right over the nest to see it.
