Snowshoe Hare
Identification Confidence
somewhat confident
Observation Date / Time
Varying degrees of brown/grey/white pelage. Huge white rear feet , white front feet and white undersides led me to this identification. Otherwise it is a Mountain Cottontail but ears and feet too large. Not exactly prime snowshoe hare habitat. Open sagebrush. Photo taken at 1530. I have another photo I took after removing hare from the road that gives better look at feet (can send upon request)
