A pair of mallards honked at it until it got out of the water, then it swam up the lake to this log, went inside, and then popped out of this hole. Observed with @micro_ecologist

Boreal Owl (Aegolius funereus)Observer
jellyturtleDescription
Heard this repeated "cheep" call continuously for half an hour coming from high up in some dense tall aspens intermingled with firs. Perhaps a juvenile begging? Didn't get a visual. Previous sighting of a juvenile near here on 6/7/21.

I awoke at 2 am to the sound of a rodent munching something near my head. I unzipped my tent and peered out to see a porcupine eating my flip-flops just outside the vestibule. I let it be and went back to sleep. These were the results in the morning.

Pleocoma minorObserver
kojiDescription
Sorry about the bad focus. See the second photo for clear detail. I am not sure about the ID as there is very small information I can find on the web...but I believe this is Pleocoma minor, which is not available option in iNaturalist at the time of the post.

Flying around about 3' up and bumbling around slowly so it was easy to catch. Incidentally it was raining.
The residents here say they are very common.

I pruned the fruiting stalk off of a Penstemon spectabilis and the next day found this insect hollowing it out. All it ever showed me of itself is what you see in the photos.

Swooped right past two male hummingbirds, which I only noticed after reviewing the photos. Hawk was moving fast but not diving. Possible predation attempt? Saw a merlin catch one before: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/40304861
