About the Winter Scenes set: A set of 10 stamp designs picturing different photographs of animals, buildings, and landscapes in winter. Meant as reminders that winter isn’t all cold and snow, it has moments of real beauty, too.
History the stamp represents: The northern regions of North America are home to many animal species that hibernate during cold winter months. However, some, like the eastern cottontail rabbit, stay active all year long.
The eastern cottontail rabbit has the highest population of any rabbit species in North America. It lives in meadows or open fields with lots of available food. These rabbits also need shrubby areas to provide cover from predators.
Since eastern cottontail rabbits are herbivores, they eat a wide range of plants during the spring, summer, and fall months. Wen winter arrives, their diet changes a little. They transition to eating bark, twigs, and buds of shrubs and small trees. Most of the eastern cottontail rabbit’s foraging occurs after the sun sets, allowing them to avoid predators that rely on daylight to hunt.
During the winter, it’s fairly easy to tell if an eastern cottontail rabbit has visited your yard. It leaves an obvious pattern of tracks in the snow consisting of two longer ovals for the hind feet and smaller ovals for the front. In general, the tracks of an adult rabbit are up to 4 inches long and around 1.5 inches wide. It is always fun to go out into the yard after a fresh winter snowfall and see if any rabbits came by for a visit.
