Pygmy Sighting in rural east wa?

[El_morenito]

I was walking to a corn mill to shoot some piegons when I saw something hiding in the distance,as I walked towards it I saw it looked like a Pygmy rabbit,it just froze and ran off into  a hop field

They are around for sure. I see them a few different places.

The Kent Boeing Plant had them in the islands of the parking lots.
Here in OKC they are everywhere. Cut little things with tiny ears.

I used to see them in Kennewick at the Vista Field Airport.

Hard to come by in numbers these days in  E WA, but no doubt they're still a few around.

Lots of reintroduction , recovery, etc stuff going on with the Pygmy rabbits. They’re a threatened species i believe.

Shhhh! Bios will have that area locked down to access and prolly start breeding orcas there.

By the way, I mentioned some sage boomers once, and that bit me two years later.

If I remember right, the area that they deemed critical pygmy rabbit habitat was near Moses lake. Numbers were increasing,... then...a fire went through the area and decimated the population. Haven't heard much since.

The bio's know where they are. If they were going to lock up some land due to a few pygmy rabbits, it'd be done by now.

Fire in the Columbia basin.
There's also rabbit hemorrhagic disease that they're dealing with now too. It was affecting only the European(domestic) rabbits but has now morphed and is killing cottontails and jackrabbits across the country. They're vaccinating the pygmy rabbits as much as they can to protect them. That disease is very lethal.
