Chipmunk and rabbit,
Two of our favorite wild friends,
Dining on the seeds
Spilled for that very purpose
By the considerate birds.

If I'm honest and step out of the faux Beatrix Potter/A.A. Milne/Kenneth Grahame role I've assumed here, I must admit that the rabbit wasn't actually eating, she was taking a bath. She was right under our living room window, almost under the bird feeder, and Elyse and I watched her for several minutes, talking about how she was cleaning herself just like the cats.
The chipmunk really was eating, though.
