Air Intake Tube

Question for you folks out there.

For the past couple of days my MC has felt like it was running a litle rough. I was not sure if it was real or in my mind. Today I decided to check the air filter (K&N) and when I pulled it out the air box was about half full of leaves. I cleaned it out and checked the entire intake tube which was clear. Seeing where the opening is, I am not sure how that many leaves got sucked in there. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Some time ago I had a field mouse who to built a nest in the engine bay of my Saturn, but I can't believe one would crawl all the way through the intake tube and no, there was no little body.

Jim

It's strange to me how the leaves could make it all the way up there, but mine was full of cotton a few months back.
