Update

According to Larry at Union Bay Watch Ethel's egg or eggs did not hatch this spring. Maybe she is getting too old for reproducing, maybe it was something else. The pair returned to the nest throughout the early weeks of sitting on the egg(s) but gradually quit flying back to the nest. We have seen eagles, probably not E & E, circling overhead on our side of the lake. Really do not want them to discover our darling bunny, who we call Waldo. He has now been making our yard his home for over 7 weeks. He disappears for almost all of the mid-daylight hours, but sure as clockwork he is back nibbling on clover or grass by 7 PM. Dusk lingers here in the Pacific Northwest at this time of year until 10 PM or a bit later, and dawn has the birds singing a little before 4 AM. So there are lots of early morning and late evening hours for us to be entertained by our little cottontail, our petite lapin savage.
