Don't you love rabbits?

It's a long front porch.

They've been out under our bird feeder. They've left their droppings. Fertilizer, I suppose!

I had a great day: workout in the morning, then a long snowshoe in the afternoon.

Noticing what I thought were squirrel tracks, I hadn't thought about it, but I knew they are diurnal, not nocturnal. Their back legs are long and leave a distinct long back leg mark.

red squirrel R.I.P.

Chickadees love this feeder.
Blue jays dominate the big one in the backyard!

We sat in the living room to watch TV in the evening. Hearing a banging on the front window, we looked out. You can see the window in this photo. The steps go up, and the porch goes across.
I thought the noise was one of the cats in the window. Wrong.

Now, I have seen lots of tracks on the porch, but I thought they were squirrel tracks. The back legs are similar: long, paired, with the two wee front paws.

What I found was that a rabbit had hopped up the steps and was looking for food that had dropped from the feeder. I'm not sure why it was banging on the window!

"Let me in! It's cold out here!"

I'd forgotten, but we had a large rabbit in our Toronto backyard when I was a kid!
Sue bunny!
Here I am with my father and brother.
I don't remember the dog at all!

The rabbits are about all the time here in Lanark County.
 I could not catch a good photo out in the dark, but  have lots of photos from summer visits.

I captured this little guy in the long grass,
just before I used the lawn tractor last summer!

Here is the bigger one last summer,
perhaps Momma!

We have motion sensor lights, and spotted the rabbit on its way as it tripped the lights.
I didn't know Labbit knew how to use the stairs! We call them Labbit, in honour of 4-year-old Josephine, who couldn't say |R| last year.

It froze in the flash!

I love walks with my granddaughter.
She is both a princess, and a warrior. She'll dress up, but she'll also go out with me on walks to go find poo!

(Bear, deer, rabbit, raccoon, turkey – we have it all!)

A rabbit was using this at some point.
A natural covering and sanctuary.
This is a photo from the my bog walk.

I managed a video of Labbit  the other day. It is dark, you can see it below. I used the night setting – best I could do.

I love how they poop as they hop along!

Rabbit/squirrel look similar!
Long back legs, with smaller front legs

I tried to brighten the video in iMovie, it didn't work well, but you get the idea!
