I live on this block (back bay) and have seen this little guy a few times, last time about 2 months ago.

I love that bunny!

You can keep all your fancy lop-ears, angoras, your blue-ribbon rabbits from the state fair. To my eye, there's nothing finer, nothing more quintessentially rabbity than the plain-old Eastern Cottontail.

Glad to see the rabbit is alive and well. Assuming it's the same rabbit, he was on that block last fall and now appears to be bigger. Thanks to whoever is feeding him.

There's no such thing as one rabbit. ;-)

There is a bunny population boom in my neighborhood in Quincy center. I see them a lot.

Head down along the riverside trail behind the McGlynn Elementary and Middle School in Medford (near Hormel Stadium) an hour or so before nightfall. Sit on a bench quietly. They will appear from everywhere, going about their bunny business.

I first discovered them when commuting through the area - even after dark, they will jump in front of my bike and run along in the light beam, until one of their friends knocks them out and has a turn (yes, I do cut my speed when this happens - I don't want to hurt them).
