Oh, I'm sorry, did my afternoon sunbathing session in the middle of the woods interrupt your hike?🐰

I thought this rabbity was maybe injured or dead, but no, he's just laid out enjoying the evening sun as later photos will attest. He wasn't 25 feet from the main trail. Granted I'm usually able to spot citters in the underbrush from a lifetime of bushwacking in the forests of Nova, Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario. I'm accustomed to looking through the forest keyholes. The animal pictured is an Eastern cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus), a species common throughout North America and particularly prevalent in Southern Ontario. It features grey-brown "peppered" fur with white underparts and a short, fluffy white tail. This species often has distinctive rusty-red or orange patches on the nape (the back of the neck) and between the shoulders. Its ears are long and rounded with densely furred insides. Cottontails are masters of concealment, often resting in "forms"—shallow depressions they scratch out in the dirt or grass to stay hidden from predators.

I called the landlord about the roof, but he just told me to 'buzz off.' Guess that explains the vacancy. 🐝🌿🦉🤨🤙

This "open-concept" floor plan features multiple horizontal tiers of brood combs, painstakingly crafted from a delicate mixture of chewed wood pulp and wasp saliva. Each hexagonal "apartment" was once a cozy nursery for larvae, though it's now a high-end "fixer-upper" with significant structural damage and a serious lack of roof.Safety Features: While currently abandoned, these nests are typically built by highly aggressive tenants (the bald-faced hornet) who do not appreciate unsolicited visitors. It is now a prized piece of "vulture culture" decor, perfect for those who want to display nature's engineering in a jar—provided it has been properly "processed" to remove any lingering scent of rotting larvae.
