SongofJoy said:I'm not sure how to tell, Ann. They are territorial so I assumed it is a male but someone explained to me that the behavior suggested it might be a female. And, yes, s/he has been coming for at least 5 years. There were babies at one time but not in several years so this may be a male and the others relocated. They do like their own "territory".
That's why I was asking. I wondered if you had seen babies. I bet they were adorwable!
I understand it could be the same animal as before or maybe not. We once had a rabbit who turned out to be female & used our yard consistently for her nesting. If it had not been for a notch in her ear, I never would have been able to tell her from any other of the rabbits in the area. Eventually, after years, I was able to spot her even when too far away to spy the ear notch. I could tell by size & subtle color differences but that was after watching her for hours almost every day for years.
