Message: [QUOTE="JBtheExplorer, post: 534966, member: 5437"] Temps were somewhat warm today and the snow is melting fast, so I went out for a hike. I saw some interesting things, too! [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2409 copy.jpg"]167220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2499 copy.jpg"]167227[/ATTACH] While checking out the vernal stream, I found a big beak in the water! I'm pretty sure this is a great horned owl beak. It was pretty cool, but also pretty gross. I added some heavy blurring to censor out the worst parts in case you all don't want to see that. :ROFLMAO: The whole roof of its mouth and everything was there. Makes you wonder why it died, especially with the bird flu currently killing a lot of birds in my area. Whether it died from an illness or was killed, something ate it.

I love that they look exactly like dinosaur tracks. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2497 copy.jpg"]167226[/ATTACH] Opossum tracks [ATTACH type="full"]167228[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
