You're maybe just gonna have to trust me on this one...

Today, I fat tired down to Fort Snelling State Park, where I saw over a dozen deer and one big, fat, loud owl.

I saw the deer first, and steadily. They didn't care about me and just kept on doing their things. It was interesting to see them react once dogs were within a couple hundred yards, though. They, rightly and appropriately, weren't as disinterested. Their body language changed as they waited and regrouped and then took off.

As I was nearing the exit for the park, I had music on in my helmet and thought the "who"-ing I heard was some jokester in the woods, but there were no people around, and then I saw the big ol' owl. He shut up, and kept his eyes on me the whole time I was trying to look at him. I could hear another one not too far away.

It was really cool. The pictures from my phone aren't nearly as cool.

For those of you reading the blog, but not on Facebook, the donated prizes are coming in for trivia night, and people are signing up. We could use more players, though. Maybe you??
