We could hear a high-pitched bird sound outside our window after dark so we had to investigate. After some trial and error I finally got a fuzzy photo of the baby Barred Owl.
I recorded the sound and it sounds just like other recordings of a baby Barred Owl screech that I found. Listen here:
It’s amazing how fast the temps change on the Oregon Coast; even in the Spring. I believe it depends on which way the wind blows. (Maybe that’s obvious to a meteorologist. hahaha)
We had a long, wet spring and it seems like the wildlife cycle is a little late. That’s not a scientific fact; just a feeling.
The wild berries also seem a little late. I love the Salmonberries when they are a little over-ripe like this one. And I think they are the prettiest when red rather than the earlier school bus orange. I’ve found that the Salmonberries that get more sun aren’t as sweet; no matter how ripe they are. So look for a bush that is mostly shaded during the day.
