Morning gossip…. Happy Wednesday!
Just a minute of birding down by Lake Lindsey… Dark-eyed Juncos, Northern Cardinals, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadees, Eastern Phoebe, then a non-bird call—do you hear it?
How about a little then and now comparison in the snow? ❄️ Who remembers this snow from 1985? Enjoy!
Enjoy this drive through the park from Wednesday. We hope our roads will be clear, and back open on Sunday. Until then we wanted to share this. *Music credit and permission from Keith Paluso. Check him out where ever you get your music, he has a new release! (Video was sped up in editing.)
Just a little bit of rain this morning! It’s not often we see it go from east to west on the lake. Stay safe this morning if you’re out and about.
Sometimes the fall splendor isn’t in the view but the sounds. Listen closely and find some evidence of fall often hidden by the fall beauty.

To just be still, even for just a moment in nature, can show you more life than all the scrolling we do in search of it.
“Who cooks for you? Who cooks for y’all?” It’s Barred Owl mating season! If you hear this distinctive call followed by laughter, it’s usually two Barred Owls performing a courtship duet. Some people also think it sounds like monkeys, but it is actually called caterwauling. Barred Owls mate for life and usually have a single clutch of 2-3 eggs each year. Chicks leave the nest at 4-6 weeks old, but don’t venture too far. Hatchlings can hang around for up to six months! Bonus fact: historians believe Harriet Tubman, an avid naturalist, used the Barred Owl’s call as a signal for people seeking to use the Underground Railroad.
