The look on that bunny's face makes me think it might be the Killer Rabbit of Caer Banog. I'd be careful if I were you!

YIKES! OH thank you for posting that

We've got four in total, two of whom we adopted as orphaned kittens. Interestingly enough, though from the same litter, the kittens had two different fathers (cats can do that). So one of them is half African wildcat, with all that that entails, and the other is pure domestic cat. Very, very different types of critter.

Arya the beauty queen and Puma the silver tabby were both adopted by His Honor the Chef, who says he can stop any time.

Ah your good crazy starts at 10

It was raining when I took that shot, so I went back out after the rain moved out and watched for a while. The parents were flying in and out quite a bit. I took some video too. I'll share that once it's put together and uploaded.

Does the male and female both come to feed or just only one? Hope we get to see the babies. You have to sit out there now each day for hours ya know to accomplish this or set up a camera 24/7

They both come. I actually just looked back in the video to double check and I got both of them on camera. The first one that comes is the male. The second one is the female. You can tell the male has more red on its head.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to see the babies. It seems like they sit pretty deep in the hole, so I'm not sure if I'll see their heads poking out. As loud as I heard them last night, I imagine they're getting big and probably won't be around for long. I'll definitely try to get them on camera if I see them!

It's been less than two weeks since I resized the holes on all my birdhouses to keep the sparrows out and wrens are already moving in!

Are those turtles not water turtles and just accidentally fall in?

Land turtles, they can hardly swim and drown.
Fall in by accident

Female and male woodpeckers were at the nest at the same time this morning.

Do they have red bellies as I can't see their undersides?
