At the top of the Keyhole near Longs Peak in Colorado.
Found him on the sidewalk about 20 feet from the pond; luckily I had a fresh Petri dish on hand, so I picked him up and placed him on a patch of grass near the shoreline. If this was the wrong move, please let me know so I can react appropriately in the future. He was less than 1.5 inches in diameter (from any angle). I honestly would have mistaken him for a callery pear leaf if my brother hadn’t seen it flinch as he walked past.
slightly windy, mid 60°, dry. alighted on a pecan tree on the farm
