One thing I've noticed on early season trips in the North Cascades are the astounding number and variety of birds active, Bald Eagles, Osprey, Ravens, Woodpeckers, Wood ducks, Mallards, Canadian Geese, Owls and many others.
I had the longest owl event ever this last trip.
At about 1 am I woke to the sound of at least 2 Barred Owls doing almost constant vocalizations as they flew along my shore line headed East, and then they turned back West and worked the opposite shoreline.
Then there's the Canadian Honkers, coming and going all hours and making sure the whole lake knows... there were 2 pairs that came and went a couple times, I could hear them from over a mile away right up to the splash landings and continued low honks congratulating each other on another successful flight or what ever it is they carry on about.
Canada can have them back IMHO.

Just take a pebble and cast it to the...
