I spend a fair bit of time in the company of rabbits, but during the hawking season, they're usually either trying to be invisible or running for their lives. So it was a treat recently to spend an hour or so with Jessa as she photographed young-of-the-year cottontails, one tiny and the others merely quite small.
Unlike the ones I'll see this autumn, these little bunnies were quite at their leisure...
...spending much of their time feeding in a desultory manner, for at this time of the year virtually everything is edible and they don't have to work too hard at it.
Plenty of time, too, for grooming.
Maybe a quick stretch...
...and then a bit of lounging about.
So relax while you can, a choinín...
Stekoa and I will be back in the autumn.
(The starlings and sparrows might want to watch out, too; after a long hiatus, I expect to have a bird hawk as well.)
