That would be the Brush Rabbit, Sylvilagus bachmani, who Adrian Adams recently photographed. They are a species of Cottontail Rabbits and found on the West Coast of North America.

Fun Fact: Brush Rabbits thump their back feet when startled.

Thanks to Adrian for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

It's sunny and breezy today, temps in the mid 70's.

Rick and I occasionally see these cute Brush Rabbits, often affectionately called bunnies. They need bushes for protection so the native manzanitas and huckleberry bushes are important to them.

Brush Rabbits are a species of Cottontail Rabbits. They are vegetarians, nibbling on greens and bark. They do like berries too, so those nicely laden huckleberry bushes will be visited by these cute, little rabbits too. This species is only found on the West Coast from Oregon to Baja California.
