Desert cottontails

It would be unusual not to spot one of these rabbits in the yard every day, they are prolific breeders, often doing the deed on the back porch. Their kits are super cute and not very wary.

This picture was taken when we had a lawn, however they still visit our drought tolerant backyard.
