Took a look at one of the bird feeders this rainy Saturday morning and found this one.
Cannot seem to find it in any of my "bird books"
Any of the experts able to i.d. this one? :D

    Cute shot!

    I also have regular diners at my bird feeders that cannot be found in bird books! Sadly, they usually visit under cloak of darkness so I have no photo proof - but we can count on almost nightly visits from a huge porcupine that we call Ed, and occasional visits from some white tail deer! I now know why the food can go so quickly!

    The bird hovering above it's dinner would be the bald eagle. Amazing birds and if you had waited a bit longer you might have had a shot of the bunny in the eagle's talons. :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It's a rare flightless harefowl. Note the biped stance; and what look like ears on its head, arent. :D

    Lupus
    Everyone who has seen "Night of the Lupus" knows that that might be a rabbit or it might be a young giant killer rabbit. The only way to tell is the cook and eat it. Rabbit tastes a little like chicken, killer rabbit tastes like condor.
