Return of the Rabbits (and Quail)

We've been concerned that the clearance of the lot west of Fernley House would have driven away the rabbits. Also, because we were away for ten days, the quail that have been in the neighborhood dropped us from their rounds. We started putting out birdseed again, and both rabbits and quail returned.

It has been so hot that hardly anything has been stirring during the day. It's only after sundown that anything appears, and I can't say that I blame the animals for taking cover.
