Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...very early record for the location in the San Luis Valley...must have been a warm day or warm location with the sun angle...not unusual for adult hibernators to make an appearance on a warmer than usual day, at least not at lower elevations. Looks like a male...and probably returned to hibernation for another month or two I would expect at the altitude of the SLV. Thanks for the report! Mike
