Field Notes

Notes:

This guy wandered on to the playground of the school where I work. One of the kids picked him up which prompted him to release some of his defensive secretions on his tail and head. After getting him safely away from the child and letting the others have a good look at him, I moved him off the playground to the other side of the fence where he could live on in peace.
