Was out at the ranch today looking for butterflies I haven't seen...and this bugger popped up out of the tall grass along the fenceline!!!

Needless to say, I forgot about butterflies and started photographing and taking videos. Cute little tyke!!! The pasture it was in is fenced with hogwire to keep the boer goats in...I think it must have squeezed under the fence and couldn't figure out how to get back to the other side.

I drove the golf cart back out around 6pm and it was still there but bleating for mama. Am thinking she was across the fence in the other pasture that is wooded and overgrown with native shrubs and grass...so I opened the gate that leads to that pasture and drove slowly behind this cutie gently urging it towards the open gate. It only had to walk about twenty yards and it cooperated quite well. Quickly ran into the tall grass there and hunkered down under a tree. Am sure mama will find it as I saw tracks along the dirt road when I was looking around for butterflies.
