For some reason, we haven't had any rabbits here at the old Boggy Thicket for years. I don't know why - we have plenty of birds, a gazillion squirrels, occasional deer, and even a family of foxes in our woods, but no rabbits.
Last week, Honey saw one between the fence and the barn, but it was gone before I came outside. Then yesterday, I saw one in our side yard. I watched him (her?) for several minutes as it grazed on weeds, then it ran into our big azalea bed and disappeared.
Like the briar patch in the Uncle Remus story, that azalea bed is a perfect hiding place. That rabbit could have been living there for years and we would never know.
