The crows called me over to see this. The owl did not waste anything. Within a few minutes of finishing off the first chipmunk, it swooped down to catch another groggy chipmunk emerging from the snow. It held it under its claw for a midnight snack and went to sleep.

First surprised by how common they are, then astonished on how irresponsible they are. These ants were literally under every damp logs, quite common for dracula ants I guess. They were found with cocoons several times as many as there were workers, but the workers didn't really care about the brood, just busy hiding or playing dead. (which made it a little challenging to take pictures)
