The Lunar New Year is this weekend. This year will be the Year of the Rabbit, so I have been thinking of rabbits.

Today I was thinking of this black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus) which was in the preserved wetlands at our office last year. The rabbit would have had to bee swimming today as we now have a large pond in front of our office.

I remember taking this picture of a mountain cottontail while waiting for a flight at the airport.

Here is a desert cottontail rabbit at a rest area here in the Central Valley of California.

Here is a little cottontail bunny that I saw in Omaha while visiting my sister many years ago.

I saw this rabbit at Rowntree Mills Park in Toronto, Canada. I am pretty sure that this was somebody’s pet that escaped.

Happy Lunar New Year!
