This seems to be the week when the new chicks get their first parade. Last night I saw a quail hen leading her crew of 8 or so across the dry creek bed to the neighbor's garden.

I think you're right, even if I set up a trap for the bunnies, they have no reason to go into it. They have everything they need. Feral cats don't (or, they have to hunt) so, that's why baiting a trap with smelly sardines in tomato works great for them.

I've put up flyers by the mailboxes in case one of my neighbors lost the Yorkie. I tend to think he was dumped on the road by some idiot because if he was smart enough to make his way to my doorstep, he's smart enough to make his way to his own if it is here somewhere. We're close enough to the road so that you never know who will turn up.
