Snowshoe Hare in its winter coat

Snowshoe Hare in its winter coat
I couldn't believe my luck when I returned home one day (26 January 2012), after seeing the tiny Northern Saw-whet Owl in Carburn Park for the first time, plus seeing a beautiful White-tailed Buck nearby. When I pulled into my parking spot, there was this beautiful Snowshoe Hare (Lepus Americanus) sitting in the snow just a few steps from my place. As soon as I got out of my car and saw that it was still there, I dropped my backback on the ground and turned on my camera. This beautiful animal, wearing its white winter coat, just sat there till I had taken enough photos - unusual, as I find they tend to immediately take off in leaps and bounds. I guess it thought that, as long as it didn't move a hair, I wouldn't see it : )
