Two of our local white-tailed #jackrabbits (again, a species of hare, not a true rabbit) in my backyard today. We had a bunch of snow Tuesday, but that's mostly melted, leaving just the remainders from winter in the shady spots and where there were big piles or drifts.
These two's faces have mostly turned brown, but their bodies are still almost pure white. It's kind of weird; elsewhere in the city, there are jacks that have pretty much turned completely already. It makes these two look like they're a brown hare sitting inside a white fur coat.
They'll be shedding/blowing this coat soon, and will look much trimmer afterwards.
I like their eyes.

"Hey, Marge?"
"Ya, Thelma?"
"I'm not sure our camouflage is working any more."
(The one at bottom-right looks like she could use some hare conditioner...)

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.

I mentioned that #jackrabbits / #hares are solitary and territorial before. As they are cute little #bunnies, some people find it hard to believe.
Here's a short video I shot today. One approaches another, and they start "boxing" and #grunting at each other (sound up!). This one doesn't turn into anything too bad, but if you get a couple of aggressive ones, it can lead to biting and blood and ... hard to believe, for #rabbits.

More #Canadian #prairie #jackrabbits (again, actually a kind of #hare, not #rabbit...) from my wintry yard today.
These two handsome fellers (or gals, who knows?) are in the front yard, looking at me through my open front door. One's got a skinnier head than the other. Dunno if that tells me anything. They all keep some dark markings on their ears and nose when they turn white for the winter, but there's a lot of variety in terms of how much and where else they keep a bit of colour.
Again, these are probably Lepus townsendii, the White-tailed Jackrabbit. There are also Lepus americanus, the Snowshoe Hare, in the prairies, but I think they're mostly further north than me, up where the trees start in what we call the "parkland" area. I'm in the middle of the "grain belt", which is bald prairie for the most part.
I have a bunch more of these, plus some videos which need trimming. Captioning these takes some effort so it might take me a while to work through them.
