Trail camera photos and video taken by Ph.D. student Amanda Cheeseman during her research on the imperiled New England cottontail rabbit have been highlighted on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service northeast region Facebook page. Her trail camera pictures were also incorporated into the New England cottontail flickr account. The photos largely feature potential predators of the New England cottontail such as the bobcat (pictured left). The New England cottontail and the bobcat depend heavily on early successional forest, a habitat that has sharply declined throughout the northeastern U.S. |
