Great Discovery in California!

In a year where I have been searching for all the bird species I can find, which now stands at 535, I have also been cataloguing what I call Rodent-y Things, such as Pine Martens, Snowshoe Hares and California Ground Squirrels, I had counted over a dozen of these cute and fuzzy beasts.  But there was one that I had not come across, and didn't expect to.  The Code 5 of Rodent-y Things!

It is a mythical being, or so adults might think, but children know that this little guy is real.  And I found him in the Pinnacles National Monument camp grounds.

Yes folks, I found The Easter Bunny.

Ha you say.  How can that be?  How would you know the Easter Bunny from Bugs Bunny, or the March Hare?

Simple.  You will know you have found the one, real Easter Bunny when you find the one and only bunny that taste tests the candy before delivering it to the children on Easter Morning.

And I have photographic proof.  Of course, without a photograph, no one would believe you've found a Code 5 anything.  So, submitted for your approval, these three, un-retouched photographs of The Easter Bunny eating an M&M this past week, as I wandered the campground in search of California Quail, whom I believe are the sworn protectors of this most famous and no longer mythical bunny.
