At least two out of the three cuties in the posting below have survived. They skipped past my kitchen window yesterday morning and they have gained a lot of size and weight in a few weeks.
As we have seen their mother around here all the winter and she has not changed white as the Mountain Hare, lepus timidus , which is also very common here, I came to the conclusion that they are specimen of the European Hare or Eastern Jackrabbit, lepus europaeus , in the US.
As a bonus information to all fans of the Who I can tell that there is a cousin in the US called the White tailed Jackrabbit or Prairie Hare, lepus townsendii
