This IS a bad sign. We staked out a new vegetable garden about 10 days ago and you see who's made themselves comfortable, right in the center.
This bunny (probably mama bunny) and her progeny, along with the squirrels and chipmunks, ate ravenously last year--not just usual foodstuffs, but even my marigolds. I was hoping this family would find a new home this year. Time to go back to Home Depot for rabbit fencing, as if I thought I could get away without it!
I have had some luck in the past keeping critters away by sprinkling dried blood meal around the targeted plants, but you do need to keep applying it. A cayenne pepper solution can work too, but when it rains, you're back out there. And unless you want your veggies to have a little extra kick, you'll need to do some careful rinsing. But then you'd do that anyway...
