Genus PandemisObserver
bryanpfeifferDescription
Perhaps P. lamprosana or P. limitata. Or perhaps an Archips species. It was still alive after "the extraction" at my local emergency room at 2AM.
This specimen entered during nighttime observations at my lights. I could not for the life of me get it to fly out. (Hey, it happens.) So my gratitude goes to Dr. Kelvey Wilson and the staff at Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, Vermont.
(While this moth was in my ear, my speculation on its identity was Microcrambus elegans.)

American Mink (Neogale vison)Observer
kyletansleyDescription
Incredible experience with this Mink. She was moving her babies from one den to another. When I arrived, I was told she had already moved 2. I saw her move 2 more.
Not sure why she was doing this, but guessing her den was disturbed somehow. It is right next to a place where fishermen sit, but not sure if it was that or another animal that got up in there.
Such interesting behavior to see!

Looked like the initial kill might've been by a Coyote, with Fox, Ravens, and Crows all feeding on it at some point (based on tracks)
