Surprised to find a tiny young native Marsh Rabbit in the Backyard after recent flooding rains. Have never seen a rabbit in the Backyard or dense conservation area and neither have the squirrels apparently - more on that later. No feral cats for almost three years and just increasing population of the rabbits may have finally resulted in their reestablishing this as a territory. There should be Marsh Rabbits here anyway. They'll have to watch out for hawks and this one seems pretty caution. I'm no doubt the first human it has seen. Marsh Rabbits are considerable smaller than cottontails and this one is probably just out on his own and very tiny. Besides having small ears if you look closely you'll see their tail is brown on top and white on the bottom compared to the common cottontail.
