Field Notes

Description:

Photos 1 and 2 are of the older baby, photo 3 is the younger baby being a creeper, and photo 4 is mom looking very upset with one of them :)

Habitat:

On my school campus.

Notes:

A friend took a picture a few minutes before I got there of one of the babies on the ground. I was worried dumb college boys would go mess with it, so I went to check on it too. When I got there, baby 1 was low in a tree and I assume he was the one that had been on the ground. I then found mom in the same tree, and the face she was making looked like she's quite upset. So I figure she had probably just gone down to the baby on the ground and got onto him and made him get back up in a tree, and she was being a typical mom and was upset after having to deal with a stubborn kid ;)
