Camo Bunny

We are in the middle of a desert, after all.

Following last weekend’s big storm, this guy’s been out there soaking up sun.

Which sounds like a perfectly good way to see the neighborhood from the air as one of those hawks takes you off to be fed to their chicks, but I’m not a rabbit, so what do I know?

I did notice in the most zoomed pictures that there’s a grey bump of some sort on its neck. It almost looks like a stud or something on a collar, but these bunnies are wild. It must be some sort of wart or boil? Maybe that’s why the hawks leave it alone? It might be diseased or tainted?

My wildlife knowledge is barely at Boy Scout levels, and I haven’t been a Boy Scout for about 53 years.
