Recently I posted about the Downy Woodpeckers that frequent our suet feeder but we also have another feeder filled with sunflower seeds - and only sunflower seeds, because last year beneath my feeder was a sea of unwanted grasses and plants clearly spilled from the feeder.
Birds like sunflowers and I like sunflowers, so next spring when some 'volunteers' appear under the feeder I just may leave them.
This pair of rabbits are daily visitors outside of my dining room window. Whatever is spilled is not wasted; with -30 degree temperatures I feel obligated to keep the feeders full.
I find it incredible they can manage at all in this weather and am happy to help.

The scene from inside is entirely different.
Suzie is the latest addition to our family and she stands guard over the bird feeder plotting her escape for hours on end, thinking about how best to chase the rabbits, for hours on end.
She does not mind at all that there is only one channel on her 'doggy 'TV'.

How awesome to have wonderful birds AND cute bunnies come for dinner! Poor doggie, I bet she just wants to play.
ReplyDeleteI hope Suzie just wants to play with the bunnies, but hopefully she will never corner one and we will not have to find out for sure. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteDo you play in the snow ??all week ??
ReplyDeleteSure, the dogs love the snow ad love to play fetch in the snow every day. Thanks for stopping in.
DeleteWhat a 'nature land' of delight ~ birds, rabbits, and 'fur person' in the window ~ fun shots ~ thanks,

Thanks for stopping by Carol, it does feel like a vibrant place with all of the wildlife, even in winter!
DeleteCute photos of the bunnies and Suzie!! I usually let the volunteer sunflowers grow too. Suzie looks ready to go out, time to give the bunnies a head start..Thank you for linking up to my critter party. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Eileen!
DeleteYOur dog has a great spot to watch over all the wildlife outside.
ReplyDeleteShe sure does and she just loves it!
DeleteYou are lucky to have bunnies. I only see them in the evening if they want me to see them. However, with all the snow around, I don't know where they are -- seems like all their home is covered with snow.
ReplyDeleteI feel very lucky; I also have to learn which plants they love and which they are less fussy about eating, but so be it, they were here first...
DeleteWouldn't be bad for a cat either. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Margy.
DeleteHehe.. The best tv there is :D
ReplyDeleteTue that. Sometimes I sit and watch the bunnies to keep Suzie company.
