Cooks Creek goes west!

Travis is at the 14th Wild Trout Symposium in West Yellowstone, Montana. We can’t think of a better spot to talk about trout resilience in October.

Copious notes to follow. Maybe an article for the newsletter? And landscape shots of Big Sky country.

A big thank you to Dr. Alyson Brokaw for speaking at this year's fall potluck!

Bats! For many people, the word alone conjures up images of dark caves, Halloween, and maybe even vampires. Much of that reputation, however, is based more on myth than reality.

Dr. Brokaw offered a different look at these remarkable animals and the wonderful world they occupy. Bats are the only mammals capable of true, sustained flight, and they have evolved an extraordinary set of adaptations for life after dark over millions of years. Using echolocation - and olfactory sense, as we found out - to navigate and locate prey, they spend their nights working the skies, forests, fields, and waterways for insects. In Pennsylvania, where our bats echolocate and are insect specialists (another great, learned term), they are important nighttime predators and a valuable part of the ecosystem.

So the next time a bat appears overhead at dusk, it may be worth looking up rather than looking away. These animals offer much more than the myths suggest. And a great deal is riding on their continued presence in our landscape.

Check out Dr. Brokaw's website for additional, incredible information! https://www.alysonbrokaw.com/

Munch munch munch.

Hornworms sometimes receive mixed reviews. But this one can take as much time as it wants on a late summer sunflower. 🐛🌻
