Here is a pic of a young
Eastern Cottontail. This rabbit jumped onto the trail, from inside the
shrub, right after we had left. As you can see in this pic, the rabbit was checking us
out with its big eye on the side of the face.
Isn't this bunny cute?
BTW, take a close look at this bunny's tail. A "Cottontail" is
named after the fluffy white fur on the
underside of its tail.
As for the trail, it may look weird because the trail
is covered with wood chip mulch. We like mulch-covered trails because
mulch-covered trail surfaces are softer than dirt trail ones. This pic was shot on the Wildflower Walk led by Naturalist Jodi, Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden &
Bird Sanctuary, Minneapolis, MN on 050724.
