Last night, neighbor [Chris Kreussling](https://twitter.com/xrisfg?ref=bklyner.com), aka [Flatbush Gardener](http://flatbushgardener.blogspot.com/?ref=bklyner.com), had a somewhat surprising [sighting](http://www.flickr.com/photos/flatbushgardener/sets/72157635600901414/with/9792980245/?ref=bklyner.com) in his driveway: this [eastern cottontail rabbit](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern%5Fcottontail?ref=bklyner.com)!

He [adds](https://twitter.com/xrisfg/status/380306243602354176?ref=bklyner.com), “Our neighbor reports a group of rabbits congregates just across Beverly Road, in Prospect Park South, so there’s a warren near.”

We’ve seen them occasionally in Prospect Park (as have [others](http://plognyc.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/rabbit-season/?ref=bklyner.com), though it was said to be [uncommon to see one](http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/25/answers-about-wildlife-part-2/?ref=bklyner.com) in 2009), so it’s not too surprising to see them in the city — but as big as some neighbors’ yards are, this still isn’t the park. Has anyone else seen them around here?
