Observation notes: We found this fellow inside our home.He was by our backdoor so he must have come inside via canine transportation. We have several large oak trees in the vacentity.He looked rather confused as to where he was, but when I placed him on our swing set he started wondering around.I then moved him to a potted plant.It was a rare beautiful day in Georgia with a high in the low 80's.
