Time for an isn’t-that-just-too-cute post. This little guy is an Eastern Cottontail. I found him on Tuesday morning along one of the paths at the David Weld Sanctuary. He had almost no fear of me. In fact he let me pass him on the path without disappearing into the brush.

I’ve wanted to post another rabbit picture for some time now but nearly all of the rabbits I’ve seen this year have been infested with tics. Lots of tics. This guy and another I saw the same day seemed to be tic-free, but don’t let that fool you. The tics are still out there. I found one on crawling up my leg yesterday as I was getting ready to launch my kayak. There. That should balance out the cuteness of this post. I feel better now. JK
