We've lived here for over ten months and in that time we have enjoyed seeing bunnies dart across the dirt road as we drive up to our house. Sometimes all we see is the white of their little bunny tails especially if it's dark. Just last week I was able to finally catch one of these elusive animals in a photo. I think the bunnies are getting used to us because they seem to run a little slower and this one hangs out in our front yard in the morning!
We've got even more elusive animals around here. A couple of months ago I heard a strange noise coming from outside, so I opened the bedroom window and heard what sounded like thousands of frogs. At first I wondered if they were crickets, but no, I could hear some "croaks" in all of that white noise. I rushed downstairs to tell Jason about it and by the time we were outside it was completely silent. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was crazy for a minute. We eventually realized that when the frogs feel threatened they all stop croaking. The next night we sneaked down to the frog pond and recorded the loud noise.
Here is a picture of the pond in relation to our house. It's not that close, but we can still hear them with the windows shut! I couldn't believe that I had never seen any of these frogs! It took a while but one of the kids finally caught one.
I can't believe such a loud noise comes out of such a small creature! It does provide a relaxing noise (with some coyote howls mixed in) to fall asleep to.
