Field Notes

Description:

Tan all over with dark brown saddles down the length of the body.

Habitat:

Oak forest crossing a road in the morning.

Notes:

I see at least a dozen of these guys each week, just always at night. This is the first one I've seen during the day so snapped a few photos and let him go on his way.
