Get Out!

Fun things to do and great places to discover nature.

• Keep an eye out for swarms of green darner dragonflies feeding on flying insects.
• Most birds, especially geese, migrate at night. Camp out when the moon is full to watch and listen for them.
• Elk begin bugling at Peck Ranch. Plan a
• trip with details from short.mdc.mo.gov/ZJJ.
• Leave fall leaves on the ground. Eastern red bats, pollinators, and other little critters need them for winter cover.
• Pucker up! Persimmons begin ripening in September. Fruits that have fallen to the ground taste the sweetest.
