I have seen this guy around the yard for a month now. He doesn't seem to be very afraid of me. He lives behind the compost heap in the corner of our yard, near the vegetable garden.
This morning I saw that he'd made himself a nest in some leaves and brush and was napping. Later in the afternoon, as I was pulling weeds, he came out and started looking for a late lunch. Cottontails are supposed to be active only at dawn and in the evening, but I guess he is pretty hungry. I brought him some dandelion leaves I had pulled up.
I think he's cute. And fortunately, we didn't plant lettuce this year.
