Kaw Valley Almanac

Ken Lassman has been keeping this almanac for over a decade, He invites you to share your observations and photos in the comments section. You can find his book Wild Douglas County at The Raven Bookstore and The Community Mercantile in Lawrence.

Coon breeding Moon November

Deer rutting season continues, with the frenzy translating to a peak also in car-deer accidents by mid-November, so drive carefully after dark and around dusk/dawn. November starts with the loss of deciduous leaves and the fall colors fade in the prairies as the leaves fall from the trees.

Turtles dig into the mud, many insects go through a type of hibernation called diapause, while shutting down for the winter months is called brumation in reptiles. Some mammals such as raccoons and bears remain warm in their hibernation, while ground squirrels drop their core temperature to 39 degrees. Enjoy a good thanksgiving and don’t forget to take a long walk after eating!
