Backyard wildlife

This morning, I saw a cottontail rabbit in my backyard. When my parents were here, my dad saw a woodchuck which is apparently living under my shed. Since I got here, I have put up two bird feeders--a hummingbird feeder in the back and a songbird feeder in the front. The hummingbirds have found the feeder, but I am still waiting on the songbirds. Last night I dreamed about my songbird feeder. I really want it to attract cardinals.

When I first found out I was moving here, I planned to get a cat. I don't think I am going to actually do that anymore. It is just too big of a responsibility and hassle if I want to go out of town. Watching the animals in my yard is my consolation prize.
