New England cottontail rabbits disappearing

Story does not state whether any Ptarmigans have been seen in the area.

Damned ptarmigans.

I thought that rabbit populations always ran in cycles.  Some say 7 years, I've seen 5-7.  I haven't noticed ptarmigans in the area when that happens but maybe others of that group are less forthright than our own.
