I do love the jackrabbits. This black-tailed jackrabbit gave me a quick glance over the shoulder while in a bit of a clearing among all that desert scrub brush. You can also see the namesake black tail in this one. Photographed on a scorching hot day in the California desert about three hours southeast of Los Angeles. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/2000th of a second.
I love this photo! The jackrabbit surrounded by all that bramble, and the only real color is the translucent pink of his ears. Couldn’t be sweeter-so glad he stop for a quick look at you.

I was today years old when I learned that the formal name of Jackrabbits is Johnrabbits.
