Wetland walkies and a Labbit

Note to self: after a fresh snow, it's probably best to wear taller winter boots or my snowshoes! The snow snuck in the back under my pants. It's cold. It's bracing!

I'm not sure what these tracks are from. There are no claws, which eliminates some critters. It could have been Red Fox! 

I found a trailcam. I couldn't remember where it was. Searching down the hill in the forest, I was not successful. Turns out I'd put it on the driveway! Hah! But I'm not failing! 

I've put a bird feeder out under the deck. We've had birds visit, but mostly Labbit.

Sure enough, Labbit!

Here she is during a snowstorm, Feb. 6th.

I've been tracking Labbit. I've found she is staying in Fred's garden burrow! This is Fred, he's gone to another burrow, sleeping for winter. Behind him is the flag garden, where he's dug a big burrow under my rhododendron. 

Labbit sits around nibbling on lilac tree shoots and providing fertilizer. It's win-win, actually! It's the cutest little bunny poop!

She runs from the garden to the lilac shrub, and then under the deck to visit the feeder.

After searching her tracks. I found her on the Wingscapes camera, but tracks lead to another burrow. She's a tricky one! You can see the large hind feet and the little cotton tail!
