Listening for Owls

" I'm glad I live a world where there are Octobers." -Anne Shirley.  From a book by L. M. Montgomery.

I so passionately love fall and evidence of its presence is here.  These are some 
shots of an October moon I took a few nights ago after a hike at Dogwood Canyon.

On Saturday, October 19th, we all went to the Audobon for our first night time hike (with about one hundred or so of our friends).  We went to listen for owls.   There were crafts  and activities like digging through owl waste (Keren refused to have any parts of that) for clues of what they had eaten.
