This Marsh Rabbit found a patch of grass that he didn’t want to give up. He saw me before I saw him when I first passed by and I jumped when he sprang into the water at the edge of the marsh with a big splash.
I didn’t expect to see him again, thinking he’d either moved further from the trail where humans pass regularly or had been lunch himself for a nearby alligator after creating all that commotion.
To my surprise when I returned he had come out into the open to have some more of that grass. It didn’t look like much to me but he was consuming his salad with gusto.
These are wonderful shots, Ellen!
Thanks, Pete! He was being so casual about the eating, not the usual shy rabbits I see the rumps of disappearing into the tall grass.
Nice photos of this fine looking rabbit. I’m glad he got to finish his lunch😊
Thanks, Belinda! He sure was determined and I hated to walk by him again and make him move, but I bet he popped back out after we left.
