Let's Look Back at October

How did it get to be November so quickly?

Let's stroll back in time and watch the leaves change as October passes by.

And the mix of weather from raindrops...

...to blue skies.

Enough rain this year in September and early October that the leaves turned color rather than going immediately from green to crunchy brown. 

Let's watch a pair of Big Leaf Maples as they change colors.

Owls pellets!  Owls cannot chew and swallow their prey whole.  The indigestible material is left in the gizzard and includes things such as teeth, skulls, claws, and feathers that are too dangerous to pass through the rest of the owl's digestive tract. To safely excrete this material, the owl's gizzard then compacts it into a tight pellets that the owl regurgitates. The regurgitated pellets are known as owl pellets.  Pretty cool, huh?

Fog today - rain tomorrow.
