Spring exploded on the prairie today. I enjoyed following a White-tailed Jackrabbit around the U of S campus. It was quite inconspicuous with it’s mottled coat on the mottled ground. Once it moved I could see it’s eye through the branches and followed along.

After some time it relaxed and came out from the bush to have a bite to eat.

Turning from White to brown.

Then the Bohemian Waxwings flew in to devour some winterized crab apples.

There were a couple of inquisitive looks and some handsomely dressed birds waiting their turn to eat.

A handsome coat of feathers.

After all that eating a drink and a bath was in order.

And the south end of a crow going north ended my delightful afternoon.
