Tried to get a quick photo with this pygmy rabbit and then she did a 180 & ran into my coat instead of jumping forward like I expected her to when I left go 😂 😅

I don't think Central Washington has ever had such little snow or such a short winter.
I'm worried what it will mean for the sensitive pygmy rabbits ☹️

I'm so damn thankful for all of the opportunities I get to share wildlife with more people ♥️

This was awesome. Big thanks to @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social
Made it to the Seattle Times ♥️ 🐇

This was accidentally the first pygmy rabbit to hear CCR ever probably (my phone was muted but an alarm went off while vaccinating it)

Pygmy rabbit trapping 2026!

Setting before sunset, then we will check for rabbits 2 hours after sunset.
We set 100 traps and may catch 2-5 if we are lucky 🤞

Rabbits will then be weighed, sexed, PIT tagged, and vaccinated against RHDV2 ☺️ 💉

Tiny weasel found its way into a trash bin left out by the garage. I wonder what it was after?

Red-tail? The lighting was awful and I didn't have my binoculars.

The problem with America is the Buc-ees bathroom is bigger than most people's homes.
Yeeeesh

Never going in one of those again if possible.

Hey so

I found out

I can imitate a red-tailed hawk well enough to trick Merlin.

This is also useful for getting the attention of some other animals....

That is all.

Didn't get the phd position I interviewed for. Now I'm just focusing on getting a new job in WA closer to the west side where my Fiancé is working with the Quinault Indian Nation... Pygmy rabbits are important, but I am tired of being unable to help with any other species 🙃 🙃
