Nice find! This looks a lot like a Marsh Rabbit, Sylvilagus palustris. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_rabbit http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/rabbit/marsh-rabbit.asp http://www.dnr.sc.gov/marine/mrri/acechar/specgal/marshra.htm See what you think. The are a bit different looking than your more common Eastern Cottontails.
