Wildlife Worries

Before we'd even left COC this morning, Research Associate Becca had discovered a baby rabbit on the grounds.
I made a cardboard tent to stand over the rabbit because I was worried it would bake in the sun.
Wildlife rehabilitators advise not to do anything unless the animal is injured, but it's hard to ignore such a helpless little critter.
On our field trip around Tortugas Mountain later, we came upon this gopher snake, who seemed untroubled by our presence.
