Field Notes

Habitat:

Species was eating grass this date in the area of the gazebo of a County nature Preserve. It is most likely it's burrow is just off the NW edge of the gazebo. The area is surrounded by sandy scrub oak. It is is in close proximity to the Ed Center to the Preserve and off the boardwalk to the auditorium. So it it is not that shy of human activity in its life.
