I walk three or four times a week. If the weather is nice , I may walk 7 or 8 times in a row. I usually walk 3 to 4 Km. I like to walk after supper. In the summer it's light and I meet many people and their dogs. About the end of September it gets dark before 7 PM . So I walk at 7.00 PM in the dark. In the past I have walked all winter in the dark. Now I'm worried about ice and falling so I walk less in the winter. Many times I do not meet a person on my winter walks. Most of the time there is not a car going around.
So on to the Jack rabbits. I like all wildlife. At this time most of the Jack rabbits have turned white. We didn't have snow until today so without snow it was easy to see these critters.
So since I've been walking in the dark it's easy to see the Jacks. Last night I saw two. About week ago I saw seven on my walk. Last night one of them didn't move until I was less than three meters away.
Usually I see four or five deer but not this year so far. You would see four or five bucks in one place and once in a while one would pick a little shoving match with another. As soon s one's head was turned the contest was over.
So you see why I walk at night. There are many critters to see.
