A fluffle?

 
We've been seeing a *lot* of Brush Rabbits (Sylvilagus bachmani) recently, and have been wondering if the timing of this winter's rain contributed to their high numbers this year.  Have you been seeing Brush Rabbits, too?
 
P.S.  I read that a group of rabbits is sometimes called a "fluffle."  I'm not sure how often that word is used, but I was intrigued enough to include it.

Yes, me too. A flurry of fluffles? ; )

YES--definitely many more than we have ever seen in 30 years of going to Bean Ave. in Salmon Creek.
