So, we drove to First Encounter Beach to see what was going on. There was this wind-surfer “flying” through the water. Wow! Was he going fast! What fun!

Last year we had a Screech Owl move in to our Owl House in late November. We had gotten it ready in the fall by cleaning it and putting several inches of wood shavings on the bottom.
Our Owl House is all cleaned out and ready and waiting for another Screech Owl to move in for the winter. Finger crossed…
