1802_0307 Nuttall's Cottontail
I wonder if this little rabbit dreams of green leaves instead of its usual winter fare - twigs and buds. You can see how many he has already clipped off, some half an inch in diameter. I watched him sniff at several before making a choice. It must be a nutritious diet because he looks healthy nearing the end of a long, cold winter.
