I had a fun encounter with this little guy this morning. I was driving down Old Highway 61 in Grand Portage after photographing the sunrise along the Lake Superior shoreline. About mid-way through the road, this snowshoe hare hopped out from the woods and started running directly down the middle of the road away from me. He ran down the road for at least a mile before turning back into the woods. During this run he stopped several times on top of the snow bank on the side of the road. Each time he stopped I thought he was going to continue into the woods, but 3 or 4 times he did this and returned to running down the middle of the road. Finally he darted back into the trees, but only about 10 feet in and then ran parallel to the road for a few hundred feet before disappearing deeper into the forest.
