Field Notes

Notes:

I know I recently put up another picture of a baby rabbit... but this one was way too cute! I found him in the shadow of a big tree munching on this leaf. You can't get a feel for how small he was, but he could literally fit in one hand.

Thank you guys! He is adorable, and there are lots of these little babies about again :) This one will be all grown up now! Ashish, he's actually eating an ivy leaf! I've seen a lot of rabbits eating ivy, it must taste good!
He must feed on leaf of Sacred Fig tree....
Its nice to see comment after 1 year...
