Notes
This little guy came into my apartment to get warm, I am guessing. Bad move, my cats have been trained to detain critters. I rescued him before any damage could be done. So little and cute. I have never seen one of these before (4th generation CA native, living in Sierra). I tried to look around to see if he had any siblings about but didn't see any. After taking his picture, released him by big rocks next to field. Sorry pictures aren't better quality, he wouldn't smile. ;) - He is generic as he was too small for me to ascertain his actual sex.
