One of the Two Jack Rabbits Spotted Today

This is one of the Jack Rabbits spotted while hiking - it's partner was on the other side of the trail and as soon as I got this photo, they both took off.

Temps started at 55, ended at 86. Sunny, steady 10-15mph South winds with gusts.

A nice hike along dry and easy to traverse trails. The birds are singing for mates but the number of birds are not as great as in past years. The only animals spotted were a pair of Jack Rabbits (photo attached). Understandably, there were a lot of folks on the trails today!
