Prairie hares, also known as white-tailed jackrabbits are frequent backyard visitors in Calgary neighbourhoods but since they are primarily nocturnal, getting decent photographs of them is not easy. Sometimes a bit of luck is all that is required! This photo is probably the easiest wildlife photograph I have ever taken. I didn’t even have to leave the house! I just grabbed my camera, opened the sliding door and snapped off a few photos before the last of the sunlight disappeared.

Terrific photo of this amazing animal!
Thanks Phil! Sometimes it’s nice to get an easy one every now and then.
Too infrequently isn’t closeup encountering most grand!
Yes, it’s great when it happens and even better when the animal doesn’t seem concerned by our presence.
Yea, I hear you. Opening the sliding door is not exactly a captivating pursuit!
