Logan was hopping this morning

Epic Stratton couldn't help but notice the rabbit hopping around Baggage Claim 2 at Logan's Terminal C this morning. Wild bun taking refuge from the storm (and the owls) or an escaped pet? Or was he hoping to hop onto a plane to somewhere warmer and just got lost?

Seen recently
I don't recall if it was on Reddit or Twitter, but someone noticed this rabbit recently as well. They comments said they tried to follow it and it went into some sort of hole in the wall and disappeared.
Seems like a (temporary) resident.

That's all folks..
Or maybe it flew from Florida
Or maybe it flew from Florida when it heard about the softening of our vax mandate.
Tangentially related
There's a whole sub-specialty of landscape designers whose job is to pick plantings for airports that look nice, but that aren't likely to be very hospitable to potentially invasive non-native insects that might have arrived from overseas; the idea is to prevent the stray visitor from gaining a foothold.

To not birds added reason to stay around.
(meaning no berries)
Looks like a cottontail
Cottontail rabbits are a totally different species from domesticated rabbits. Apparently, domesticated rabbits can be bred to sort of look like a cottontail, but that really very much looks like a cottontail.
Most likely
But an eastern cottontail, or a New England cottontail? They're hard to differentiate. One is endangered, but the other breeds, well, like rabbits.
From this
I learned that New England Cottontails are the only cottontails native to New England, but that their numbers are now tiny compared to those of the Eastern Cottontail; and that the two species are so similar that they can only reliably be told apart by genetic testing. I was immediately reminded of the Steven Wright routine that began "one day I woke up and everything in my apartment had been replaced by an exact replica."
The cottontail
The cottontail, in my opinion, is a finer, better proportioned, more “rabbity” rabbit than most of the fancy rabbits you’ll see exhibited at the state fair ag barns.
Maybe it's waiting for its hutch..
...or more likely seeking refuge from the airfield, which is a known habitat for snowy owls.
"Adorable"

That would be Elmer, of the non-Fudd variety.
Thanks.
I was trying to remember his name. I always think “Homer” but know it’s not.
