Hunkered Down

Hunkered Down

We watched this rabbit rapidly move from hole to hole keeping a lookout all the while and for good reason. Up on the nearby hill coyotes were lounging in the grass. Photographed at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge

Make one wrong move and you are history! So many complexities in nature, and so beautiful. I like how you captured the rabbits eye so clearly!

Adorable little creature! Ditto on how you captured the rabbit’s eye. Perfect focus given your comment about the coyotes. Wonderful shot.

  Thanks, not suer but it looked like the rabbit had one eye on me and one on the coyotes above.

I love the way his ears are standing up, looking so alert. 😉

  He better be alert…danger all around, coyotes lurking and even hawks in the trees on the edge of this field.

      Yikes is right, danger to the left, danger to the right, hope this bunny made it through the night.
