Summerset
As I used to say to Lucas about the passage of time: after having kids it sure is just one quick sprint to the grave! And sure, that's a little on the nose (what am I, the Oracle of Delphi up in this bitch?!), but I MEANT it to convey how time seems to speed up and you blink and then you turn around and the kids are grown and so are you. So... yeah. […] -
We had a visitor in the back yard early this evening. This is a young white-tailed jackrabbit (which is a species of hare, not a true rabbit) probably from this spring's first batch, so he's probably about 3 months old. The proportions are different from an adult. This species is also known as prairie hare or "white jack", or just "jack" hereabouts.
This one was sitting in the long grass and then sat up when I came into view. He wasn't scared, but kept a wary eye on me. Pardon the lousy picture quality; I didn't get out the Big Lens so this is a tiny crop out of the middle of the frame. I have a little video I might post later.
Of course, he immediately started being cute(r), having a bath, after I put the camera away.
Pardon the weeds; it's been too hot and humid to mow lately, and I went chemical-free a few years ago.

I looked out my front window just now and saw this one enjoying the late afternoon sun while lying in an improvised form where the paving blocks have shifted and sunk, up against the edge of the poured concrete driveway. The stone and concrete were quite warm from sitting in the sun.
Sorry for the lousy photo - this was taken through a dirty window, and he sat up when I tried to snap him through the open door.

The local white-tailed jackrabbits (a species of hare, not a true rabbit) are now well into their change-from-white-to-brown cycle, but the snowstorm earlier this week is not making it easy on them.

"Ya, Thelma?"

A local white-tailed jackrabbit (actually a species of hare, not rabbit) is in solar-charging mode, having found a bit of sunbeam passing between our house and the neighbour's in the mid-afternoon.

Jackrabbits, outside: These dry pellets aren't much, but they help when it's this cold!
George: Le sigh... what's left of my fresh-today salad is all the way on the *other* side of the bowl.

There are #jackrabbit tracks in the snow on my covered back deck, which is 4'/1.3m off the ground, with a single set of stairs to the ground. They apparently crossed the whole deck to inspect my barbecue.
Nosy bunnies!

Surprising facts [1] about animals, part 1375:
The white-tailed jackrabbit, which is actually a species of hare also known as the prairie hare or "white jack", or simply "jack", in groups is capable of #geometry. It owes this to the fact that hares are territorial and not social.
When multiple jacks are present at a round bowl, a group of 2 will always arrange itself at 180 degree spacing, 3 at 120 degree spacing, and 4 at 90 degree spacing. I don't have a bowl big enough to see if the pattern holds true for groups of 5 or more.
It's pretty neat!
[1] For small values of "fact".

Ce matin le petit lièvre à profité de la branche cassé de l'agrume qui pousse dans la verrière et que j'ai accroché accidentellement. C'est son petit déjeuner ce matin..et c'est comme au restaurant pour lui, c'est si frais.../ This morning the jackrabbit who adopt our yard ( first in 28 years) make an breakfast from cutting branch from agrume tree (not pomello not orange not citrus, we will see!) This is an jackpot for jackrabbit..so fresh !#nature #jackrabbit #rabbit #quebec #animal #winter

They're heeeeeeeeeeeere ...
Seriously, this is what I see out my front window every night in the winter. Except I was moving and using the blinky-light box when I took this, so they're looking around and trying to figure out how to react to me.
Normally they're all just sitting upright, and all looking directly at me. I'm not kidding.

Awfully cute! Ours are just starting to get over the worst of their skittishness. When I was shovelling snow yesterday, one of them came running down the street and sat about 20ft away from me while trying to decide if he could make it to the bowl without getting closer to me.
I wonder if Edmonton jacks are related to Regina jacks, and if so, whether ours are considered the hillbilly redneck cousins no one talks about.

I've done October challenges for 3 years, and decided to tackle #Weretober this year - with my own custom list! Some suggestions from Patrons (thank you!), & some critters I think look cool.
Honestly, as a desert-dweller, I think a were-jackrabbit would be one of the scarier things to encounter...

This is a #video without sound of a #jackrabbit standing still and looking at me to observe whether I'm a threat.
Then it runs a bit further away and continues to observe and then it moves out of view

#Jackrabbit in my front yard today. This isn't the young one I saw yesterday; this is one of the adults that lives in the area.
Unlike true #rabbits, #hares (jackrabbits are hares, not rabbits... complain to someone) don't dig burrows. Instead, they just kind of scoop out a shallow depression in the dirt, and then lie in it. Hares aren't social animals, and live alone, so they don't really need a burrow. When they lie motionless in these bowls with their ears flat against their body and their legs pulled in underneath them, they look surprisingly close to rocks.
This one spent several hours in this spot this morning while it was windy and rainy. I opened the door slowly to get a picture, but after the first "click" sound, he or she took off.
Captions:
1) "I'm watching you closely. I don't trust you."
2) "Nope, I'm outa here."
3) "I must return to my home planet, my people need me." -
The last couple of days, I've seen one of this year's "crop" of new jackrabbits running around. Reminder: jackrabbits aren't rabbits, they're hares, and so they're solitary, not social animals like rabbits. Once they're weaned and not much else, they basically run solo and free.
But this one is obviously big enough to be a late-stage juvenile. He or she is about half the size of the full-grown adults - and she very much behaves like an excited kid, bouncing around excitedly and being full of energy and curiosity.
Tonight, she came bouncing down the street while we were preparing to go for a walk, and ended up in the middle of the front lawn. I opened the door slowly and spoke to her, and she watched for a minute before bounding off. Then later, I saw her go into our back yard. She might be living somewhere back there.
Sorry, no pictures. Too skittish to stay in one spot while I go get a camera.

"Why would I bother turning my underside brown for the summer? It's not like anyone can see... wait."
It's hard to tell from these pictures, but his back half is flopped on his side, and his back feet are sticking out behind him (or her). Pretty relaxed for a wild prey animal. You know the drill: white-tailed jackrabbit, which is actually a species of hare, not rabbit.

A #jackrabbit [1] I interrupted this evening when he was eating my front lawn. He was head-down in the grass just a moment before I snapped this - they're fast, and skittish.
