My creature, which I've decided was a vole, didn't look anything like a 
baby bunny.  Front and hind legs similar in structure, short ears - 
really, if I hadn't heard of voles I would have thought it was a weird 
chubby mouse with a short tail.

Baby bunnies are much cuter.  And I mostly see them in the spring, not 
the fall.
