Last night my dog was shaking with excitement looking at something right outside the sliding glass door. A baby bunny! However, it wasn’t just any rabbit. This one was a tiny “kit” that was just a few inches long.
I have seen jackrabbits and cottontails in the shrub-steppe High Desert habitat where I live. This could be a cottontail or maybe even a pygmy rabbit. It’s hard to tell when they are young.
Yes, the background is not the best for this shot. But sometimes nature comes to you and you have to take advantage of it and grab your camera. The sprinkler head is just over an inch across so this gives you an idea how small it was.
Needless to say, my dog did not get to go outside for a while. The bunny went back to its burrow which is probably under our porch. Life goes on for this little cutie.

What a sweetie! A lovely capture and well done for keeping the dog at bay :o)
Thanks! It's hard for dogs to sit and stay sometimes, as you know. ;)
We're getting slammed this season. Can't keep them out of the garden. It's been a bunny attack.
But they're so cute...
I guess one could have a bunny-free situation, but I think the chance sighting of a tiny baby bunny is worth the loss of crops. Thanks for sharing it with us, and for your note about how to estimate the size of this little cutie!
