Should I stay or should I go?


It snowed again last night. The temperature this morning (18 November 2015) is -4°C (windchill -11°C) and I suspect everywhere will be very slippery.
This White-tailed Jackrabbit was busy munching on grass outside the place where I volunteer. On 28 October 2015, I finished my shift - highly stressful, as we are having to learn a completely new computer data system! - and there was this beautiful animal. I had seen it (or a different one) right there once before, but I didn't have my camera with me on that occasion. This hare was moulting ready for winter and snow, changing from brownish grey in the summer to become white all over except for its ears. Hope it has completely changed by now, as it snowed again last night (17 November 2015).
"The white-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus townsendii), also known as the prairie hare and the white jack, is a species of hare found in western North America. Like all hares and rabbits, it is a member of the family Leporidae of order Lagomorpha. It is a solitary individual except where several males court a female in the breeding season. Litters of four to five young are born in a form, a shallow depression in the ground, hidden among vegetation." From Wikipedia.
