Sorry, couldn't find a rabbit :))

Black-tailed Jackrabbit- Lepus californicus

Rogue Valley - Jackson County - Oregon - USA

The black-tailed jackrabbit has long ears with black tips and very long front and rear legs. It is about 18-24 inches long and weighs four to eight pounds. It has peppery brown fur and a black stripe that runs down its back. The black-tailed jackrabbit is not really a rabbit; it is a hare because its young are born with fur and with their eyes open. Males and females look alike, but females are usually larger.... The black-tailed jackrabbit can be found in the western United States from Washington south to California and east to Nebraska and Texas. It is an introduced species in Kentucky and New Jersey."

I was a little surprised to see this one at an altitude of more than a mile. I always assumed they were only in the lower valleys. It turns out they can be found from sea level to 10,000 feet. Thanks Google
