The Resolute Bunny

Snow and ice are tough on mammals as well as birds. We laid in and served about 50 pounds of corn during the weeks of snow-in. I'm sure the coyotes, great horned owls and redtails appreciate our corn-fed rabbits.

I was amused, as dusk came on, to see the Bower Bunneh cleaning up corn in a most picturesque way.

A doe came out of the trees, hoping to share.
First she sniffed around the back entrance. Bower Bunneh didn't budge.


So the doe gave Bunneh a wide berth and tried another approach. I love the ear positions on the animals in this shot. The bunny is alert and resolute; the deer undecided.


Bunneh moved off a bit, but didn't give way.


All right. I'm coming in. You are a rabbit and I am an ungulate, many times your size.


I may be a rabbit, but I am no pushover. Go find corn somewhere else, Pointy Toes.



Can't you do something about this, Corn Lady?
