Alan and Marty were the only people quiet enough to see (and photograph) this Desert Cottontail! (Record crowd for Ned's Nature Walk on 2/11/2105.)
Desert Cottontails are well camouflaged and they also use stillness to avoid detection. As the first graders (in my group a few weeks ago) explained it, when Desert Cottontails hear a predator, they freeze.
