Christina, they look like Rufous-sided Towhee eggs.Are they in a tree or on the ground? We found a nest on the ground this year when we saw the towhee fly off.I never knew that they sometimes build their nests on the ground, until I looked it up on line. DeeS

Yes, Susan, they were fairly chubby little fellows and I had suspected that they were ready to pupate, so was not surprised to see them gone. I have tried to find where they might have gone to pupate, but no success. I have the same problem with Black Swallowtails. They grow and become good sized and then disappear. The Gulf Fritallaries just move down the limb or over on the trellis and pupate. And they always eclose during the day when I am at work, never on the weekend or in the morning or evening when I am at home. (I think there is a plot to keep me from watching - LOL). I know that I will plant hollyhocks from now on. I love watching the cats grow and develop. Who knows, I may catch them when they move off to pupate one of these days. Ms. Faith

I suspect (but am too scared to test it) that it will be fine outside over Winter. It sat next to a glass window pane all Winter and didn't seem to suffer. It got to about -4 here if that helps? I know it's hardy because I accidentally watered both of them with scalding hot water and they were fine. Whoops!

My guest bath toilet didn't drain properly after I bought this house (completely remodeled). Really, really slow draining. I couldn't clear it with a plunger, but I could get it flowing a little faster, then it would slow after a while. Called a plumber; he took the toilet out and found a plastic grocery bag that had been left on the top of the pipe during construction to block sewer gasses. The slobs had just installed the wax ring and the toilet right over the plastic bag. Fortunately, it wasn't completely sealed off. One of many screw-ups in this place (including a medicine cabinets mounted upside down, central air not hooked up to electricity nor Freon valve opened, gas shutoff installed wrong, carpet installed over gap where a wall was taken out and the 2x4 shoe wasn't replaced, walboarded over forced air vents, and on and on...). Oddly, the tiling is great.

Awwwww....SO CUTE. They raid my front garden quite often, grumble grumble, but I do think they're neat, and yours is especially cute taking a nap/bath! Thanks for posting it! Do they ever cause damage to your garden?

Happy gardening!

That looks more like a pig than a bunny.....the shape of the head, the direction of the hair that doesn't look much like fur.....?

Check out the shape of the ears, then compare them with this photo. I think you're looking at a baby boar in the birdbath:

I don't see anywhere it was thought to be a bunny. It was a baby Javelina but I like your picture.

They do stink something awful when they get excited or frightened.The babies are striped but the adults are a mix of brown, grey and black. The adults have long hair. They can raise the hair on their back when they get scared or aggressive. Very poor eyesight. They aren't really a pig but they sure act like one.
