I've got a family of 10 desert cottontails in my backyard. The size of the family grows and shrinks, depending on the season. As the kids get older, they move on. Mom and dad are still around, breeding like... well, you know.

The cool thing is that this family has pretty much figured out how to avoid the coyotes.

Just before sunset, they all come out of hiding in the shrubs to feed. That's when I grab a beer, go to my 2nd story balcony and look down as they feed on the lawn, giggling like a 5 yr old.

Just makes me laugh and laugh... I never get tired of seeing them!
