Local wildlife

We have considerably more wildlife in our garden here in the US than back in the UK. Squirels & rabbits are regular visitors & we now have a 'pet' rabbit that Beth likes to feed.

We also have a hummingbird feeder. Although the syrup that they feed on is going down at an alarming rate (no, it isn't leaking) we have yet to see a bird at the feeder. The Missouri state bird is bright blue & whilst we haven't seen one of these in the garden yet, we do get regular visits from Cardinals (these are bright red birds that also happen to be the St Louis Baseball team name & mascot).
