This morning, after a rain, everything is refreshed. The immature robin we've seen, injured but hopping around and eating, has disappeared. We are hoping that means it was able to fly away. In addition, I saw a small bunny in the front yard, two days ago, hopping around and out of my way. I believe it is the same bunny that seemed lethargic earlier this week. I hope both little animals survived whatever was wrong with them.
A lot of voles in the front, and our mousetrap in the garage trapped a vole, unfortunately. We still occasionally trap a mouse in the crawl space.
Bird wise, though, many many immature pine siskins, chickadees, juncos, nuthatches. Have not seen many warblers or kinglets lately. White-crowned sparrows, adult and immature. Almost every day, at least one redpoll. One immature crossbill last week.
Later the same day: we once again saw our crippled robin, hopping to beat the band but not flying. We also found two dead bunnies in the yard, however still see one small one hopping around. Attrition in nature is a tough thing to observe.
