Big Jane

Big Jane is back! She has a nest somewhere in our yard. She is not afraid of us. She is just outside of our front door. I walked out the door this morning and talked to her. She often comes up to the window as if she's looking in to say hello. 

Big Jane was just beyond the fence yesterday taking refuge in the safety of a small clump of weeds. All I could see was the tops of her ears. She will stay right where she is until dusk unless she gets spooked. Last year, she hung out under the solar panels with the chickens.  


I enjoy our interactions with the wildlife. Mutual respect and boundaries are a must when it comes to wildlife and people for that matter. We stay in our lane and they stay in theirs. We get to enjoy their beauty, and they have the benefit of safety on our land.

Big Jane the Rabbit...

Big Jane, our resident rabbit, comes home every morning around 8 am and leaves again around 6 pm.  This particular evening, she was being hunted by a large Osprey. Three of them have been watching her and surrounding her using our fence posts. 

Jane is smart. She stays close to the porch just in case they attack. About dusk every evening, the Osprey's leave for the night. I'm not sure where they roost for the night, but they come back every day. They will be migrating south soon. Three less birds of prey for Big Jane to worry about.  


Can you see the Osprey on the fence post?


Big Jane will also morph into a snow-white bunny for the winter months. Right now, she blends in perfectly with her surroundings. Number One Husband and I play a game most days trying to see who can find Big Jane first and then give clues to the other one to see if they can locate her. 

She doesn't seem to fear us whatsoever. We talk to her as we walk by. She just continues to eat or pretends like we can't see her. When she was little, she lived in the chicken coop and ate with the chickens. It was sweet. 

We enjoy the beautiful wildlife and creations that God has blessed us with. He is so creative. He has thought of every detail with great love and care. Thank You Father and Creator of all...



Blessings,
