Our infestation of rabbits from last summer seems to have diminished somewhat. There were at least a dozen. We haven't heard the local owl lately, so I'm guessing most of the rabbits are history.
We now identify two that show up here regularly. Here is one of them. Neither one has any fear. He hopped right up while I was photographing him and chewed on my shoes. The other day I was visiting my neighbor in her front yard and the two of them hopped right up and sat on her feet. Neither one of us had a camera with us.
It doesn't help that my neighbor feeds him. He can be found between our house and theirs among the bushes.
If he is still hungry, he prunes my ground-cover. It is vinca minor that has been growing 
next to the house for about 20 years, and was a mound a foot high, six feet long, and about three feet wide growing out into the grass. We trim it when we mow the grass. The rabbit has it trimmed a foot back from the grass line. He keeps it pretty even, although it is about half the size it once was.

Can it be that more bunnies are in our future? Time will tell.
