White-tailed Jackrabbit

My White-tailed Jackrabbit project of the last month or so finally has started to produce some results. If you hang out near wildlife long enough, sometimes good opportunities happen by chance!

 

Their unusual style of locomotion and their white winter coats are what I love most about them. Starting here, we will examine their locomotion in a series. Frequently, all feet are in air during a running cycle, as in this case. Interestingly the tail position changes with the strides as will be shown later in future posts. Here the tail is held low.

 

These hares are very elusive, so all shots in the series and almost all of the shots posted this winter were taken with super telephoto lenses plus 2x extenders.
