A few years ago, Oscar and I were scouting in the Coast Range above Eckman
Lake near Waldport, and I tried to hoot in a Pygmy-Owl. Got a perfect
response, but when we looked up, there was a Gray Jay (ok, nowadays a
Canada Jay) giving a perfect NOPO imitation (a little later, a REAL
Pygmy-Owl responded and popped into view). Fun memories!

I heard a Pygmy Owl at home first thing this morning. Later the
whiskeyjacks were doing NOPO imitations, the standard toot, which they
seldom do here. They often make a trill like noise, in imitation of the
jays.
A Saw Whet Owl was calling in the wee small hours last night, as one did
last week. The Saw whets are quite seasonal here.
