Notes
At least 3 adult T. couchii in a crack getting the last rays of sun at 5pm. At 7pm they had gone slightly deeper in the crack and were joined by this animal resting its head on the tail of a couchii. The crack is only a few feet above and way from water and I imagine this was their nightly refugia.
