Foreplay for Wabbits
First the stare down.
Then the buck runs at the doe and she jumps over him.
This goes on for about 10 minutes
They ran into the tall grass and did the deed. Quick like a bunny is so true
as it took them all of 5 to 10 seconds. He looked like he wanted a smoke
when he came back out of the tall grass. Then they both made their way down to
feed on the spoils underneath the bird feeders.
It’s Wabbit season

At a guitar forum where I’m a regular, another member said the wildlife around our home
reminded him of the movie Narnia. I laughed. It then reminded me of an older Johnsonville
sausage commercial. The guy in the commercial’s name is Jeff which is a coincidence
because my name is also Jeff.

Orphaned fawn. My wife volunteers at a shelter for Australian cattle dogs. Blue Heelers and
Red Heelers, although they take in others breeds as well. She got an odd call the end of May last year about an abandoned fawn that the mom had abandoned in their yard. They didn’t touch it for three days hoping mom would come back at night to take him away. She had been taking care of it for about a week prior to that, and then disappeared.
The fawn was getting hungry and thirsty and with no mom, the people were concerned for the fawn and wanted to get it to a rescue center. In the interim, they fed it some goats milk to keep it going with hopes of mom returning.
After the call, my wife arranged to meet the woman and take it to
a rescue center about an hour away. WoJos God’s Grace wildlife rehabilitation.
This one was the sixth one they had taken in last year. This shot was taken at the parking lot where they met up with a lady from the rescue center. She said it looked great and was sure it would be OK. After rehabilitation, they are released. She called the next day to let us know that it was doing great, and was a young buck they named Sage. The area they
release them is a huge preserve with no hunting.
Flashing forward to last September when the rescue center called to let us know
they had successfully released him.

I love the nuthatch birds. They run up and down the trees facing the ground. They’re crazy acrobats.

The first wood duck showed up yesterday. Others will follow. On the first we had a visit from
a pair of hooded mergansers. They usually stop for a few days before continuing their northward migration.

Some of the birds and critters get a portrait done by my wife. She mainly uses pastels and
acrylics, but watercolors and oils are also mediums that she uses.
Here is a red squirrel done on a rock with acrylics. The rock shape and the eye of the red squirrel always fools me at first glance. The rock looks like the shape of a largemouth
bass head.
Here is another done on a rock as well. A Nuthatch.
