Running around outside the Green library, pecking at the grass near the fountain. Who knows how it got there... but it was there... Too ridiculous to pass up reporting. Only had my cellphone on me, so appreciate an impressionist's rendition of "Portrait of a Numida in the Grass". You saw it here first.
