Snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus)

Larose Forest

Walking through the forest today, I saw some snowshoe hare tracks and noticed that they seemed fairly fresh, and that they were leading onto a pile of logs. To my surprise, as I followed the tracks with my eyes, I saw this beauty sitting absolutely still. I didn't approach, but used the zoom lens to take some photos. Hares rely on sitting perfectly still to escape detection.

Lucky for the hare, only humans read tracks, unless the humans are hunters! You have a steady hand to capture such an amazingly sharp and detailed image. Voted.

Its cover wasn't good enough to escape your attention; what hope has it against a lynx? Great photo.
