I was checking a nest I knew about before mowing and accidentally scared this poor baby. Luckily, it didn't run far and I was able to quickly get it back home.

We had a tropical storm blow through this morning that coincided with a very high tide. After the rain and wind died down, it made for quite a beautiful day.

I don't know how I spotted this tiny baby musk turtle in the parking lot but I'm so glad I did. I relocated him to a nearby wetland.

It must be rattlesnake season! I caught an even bigger (but less angry) western diamond back today. They're such gorgeous animals.

This little opossum was napping in one of the trashcans at the park. She was quite grouchy when I woke her up.
