In order to see a rabbit or other critters that blend in with the surroundings, they have to exhibit some movement. I was lucky that the rabbit was in this shot because it was motionless and didn&#8217;t get my attention until I saw it there with the cardinal through the viewfinder.<\/p>\n<p>The critters were about 20 or 30 feet away from where I took this photo. I had the lens set to its maximum focal length of 300mm. Both critters were kind enough to remain in my field of view while I took several images at 1\/400 sec, ISO 200, F6.3. This was the best of them.
