The top pictures are from Fullersburg Woods where beavers are having a heyday. In these pictures you can see all the little trees have been recently chewed down. The park rangers have put wire fencing around some very large trees that the beavers were girdling -- trees that are 2+ feet in diameter. In the bottom pictures, you can see the blooming Christmas cactus (Mom called it "Thanksgiving Cactus"). And the continuing waves of migration of sandhill cranes.
1. Sandhill cranes. Bigger waves of them heading south. Heard them through the door while working on November 27, 28, and while raking on November 30.
2. Walking on Thanksgiving - November 26 - a pack of coyotes set off howling by the siren of a fire truck in Oak Brook.
