It seems that at least one rabbit has a regular route along the edge of the creekside willows and into the neighbor's woods. This is only about 24 hours after the last snow, and already there is a well worn path. In some years past we have had a Great Horned Owl watching over the yard and neighborhood, and that has kept the rabbit population low. But I haven't seen the owl for a couple of years, and the number of rabbits has been increasing.
This is a beautiful sunny New Year's Day. The snow is getting deeper and the yard is getting whiter. I had to go out and knock snow off of many of the evergreens this afternoon, as they were being split and weighed down. It was a beautiful day to be out doing that though.
