A hike through the Goldstream Group campground and straight up Skirt Mtn to the top today.
Lots of Robins in the campground fields looking for worms as well as several Flickers calling back and forth. a Sapsucker called flying from tree to tree. Part way up the hill I could hear the toot toot of one or two Pygmy Owls, I can never tell exactly where they call from, they seem to move around. An other 300 feet up the slope there, at the top on a snag, was an Owl sitting quietly at the very tip of the tree.
This bird sat there for about 25 minutes until a junco called down below and it got quite interested in that.
It dropped down the snag to get a closer look.
It missed its chance apparently and went up and sat in another tree before disappearing before my eyes.
On the way down there was a Pygmy calling ahead of me as I descended the steep terrain. It seemed to stay ahead of me, or it was a different bird, I believe it was a different bird, as well there was another calling back at the campground. Lots of Robins around the fields, so I assume they are following the migration
