ckhuntDescription
Sensing opportunity, the Ringed Assassin Bug responded to the presence of an Eastern Yellowjacket by stalking it, but, as that Yellowjacket became aware of the threat and became defensive, the Assassin, realizing that it was over-matched, backed off to defend itself.

Long-eared Owl (Asio otus)Observer
smccaullDescription
The owl was in a maple tree outside my front door. Well camouflaged, only saw it because 2 crows were noisily harassing it in the tree. Stayed for an hour, relocated to different branch, then to edge of garage roof. I live on an open field that was mowed last week so hawk and fox hunting activity has increased. Northern harrier seen 3 days in a row.
