Jill munching

I know this looks a bit staged but it wasn't. Really! I've been feeding Jill from this pet bowl for about a year and used it to get her comfortable with being close to me. It was a great experience and worked so well that Jill started moving the bowl to wherever she wanted it: a few inches here, a foot or more there. No clue why she does it but the bowl is never where it was the last time I left it. This time, the bowl was about a foot (no kidding) away and she brought it right up to my foot. She's not afraid and you can see that in her eyes but the bowl had to hit my foot for her to stop moving it while eating. I dearly wish I had the clip of her picking it up and moving it inch by inch but I lost it somewhere in GIGABYTES of videos. If you look carefully you can see the deep teeth marks she has left on the hard plastic bowl. Jill the Jackrabbit lives in "Weedy Field", an undeveloped spit of land locked between two parking lots in a business district. I work in a building that uses one of the lots and come to visit the creatures in the field with a Nikon D80 or D90. Jill is facing Northwest and my back is to the East and against a pine tree in the part of Weedy Field (my name for the place, obviously) I call Cone Grove. It's perpetually shady there but far from dark, as you can tell from the horrific lighting. The video is from the Nikon D90 with the kit 18-105MM lens but I seriously doubt Nikon would appreciate me saying that. They'd probably HATE this: the video ...
