We were walking through Cannon Beach back towards our hotel when we saw a couple of black rabbits eating grass by the road.  They didn’t seem easily spooked by our presence and we walked on our way.  A little internet searching when we were back in the hotel explained that there is a population of black rabbits in Cannon Beach that are descended from rabbits that people have released.  They are big rabbits compared to those we see around here.

I decided to grab the camera late one afternoon to see if I could get any photos of them.  I didn’t have long to look but figured it was worth a try.  I had walked about ten meters when I saw my first rabbits.  There were a bunch of them within a block of the hotel.  I saw some on an open area of grass and one that was closer to me did run away towards a bush.  It them leapt up on top of the bush and stayed there chewing on the leaves.  Never seen anything like that before!
