The Desert Cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii) is a resident cottontail from much of Mexico northward through the American west north to Montana. It may inhabit pinyon-juniper woodland, brush, riparian areas as well as true desert habitats. Its range overlaps with Eastern Cottontail and Mountain Cottontail and identification of most individuals is difficult. The first 3 shots of the Desert Cottontails on this page were taken near Balmorhea Reservoir in Reeves Co., Texas, in June, 2007 with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 100-400 F/4.5-5.6 L IS lens.. | ![]() |
