Day 17.295: Other nature

Today, we did some chores and did our first day of Project FeederWatch bird counting for the season but for now I’ll take you back to Halloween morning and some of the non-bird nature we observed.

American witch hazel is famous for being the last tree/shrub to flower. These flowers were past their best but it was the last day of October. 

Since it was close to the witch hazel, this is likely a citrine sallow moth 

These tubes made out of  eastern white pine needles still on the tree are evidence of another moth. In their case, the pupa form of the - appropriately-named pine tube moth


Once they were pointed out, we spotted quite a lot of them with their neatly angled entrance holes
