Eastern Cottontail

Thank you!

Cool

Hi Melissa, this is a nice spotting! I do agree with Joshua that is is most likely an Eastern Cottontail. The shape of the body and length of the ears on this lagomorph are not consistent with a White-tailed Jackrabbit.
Here is a link for comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-taile...
