Morning Fog

Color is starting to return to Bogey Woods.  The swamp is slowly drying out and we can get back in there and nose around a little.  Lots of spiderwebs across the trails since no one has been back in the woods for several months.

Was able to get up to the hideout and poke around a little.  It needs lots of work before we can use it again.  The basic structure survived the flood, but, lots of pieces floated off.  Once it dries out a little more, I will start reconstruction.

Ran into another guy who has been walking these trails for years and he told me he saw a Mink the other evening.  He says he has seen several over the years along the creeks and in the swamp.  I saw something "mink-like" crossing Meramec Bottom Road a couple of weeks ago, but, only caught a quick glance.  At the time I thought maybe it was a cat.  Now, I'm not so sure.

Yippee......  The heat is gone and the rains came and the critters came out.  After weeks of oppressive heat, finally starting to get some more color back.

Hot days, hot nights, high humidity, heavy dew in the morning.
I came across one of the Great Horned Owls this week.  In the same tree, on almost the same limb where I found "The Twins" last year.  Not sure if it is one of the twins, but, I like to think it is.
