Literally yesterday I posted we had not seen any rabbit or hare since last year, and this morning, one visited. It still has faint white patches on his body, our last significant snow was 37 days ago.
Locals call these jackrabbits, especially the ones with long ears, but there are no jackrabbits here. (although male snowshoe hares are called jacks)
Looks like porcupine damage based on photos from elsewhere
Living in the forest garden. Right after I took these I saw a mouse run across the path into the vegetation near the weasel, and then I heard a squeak.
