I've pulled out bunnies before but this cottontail was larger and once I tried fishing him out, I could see it could almost jump up the five feet needed to get out.
Aside from feeling bad for the bunny, I was trying to protect my screen...you can see it was trying to chew it's way to safety. I put on gardening gloves, grabbed big tub with rope handles and used Cindy's cane to lower the tub into the window well. It was not received well and it was jumping I'm sure out of fear and survival. Finally I scooped it up and brought it up to the grass and it took off and was skinny enough to exit through the fence. Definitely some excitement in the day!
