We saw this on our walk at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge along the Willamette near our house (not too far from Reed–take Woodstock straight west and you’d end up here). We always look at snags to see who might be liviing there. First I spotted this hole, which is bird shaped. Then I saw the fresh moss carpeting. I could imagine an owl in there (we had seen a little screech owl in a nearby tree – I’ve attached that picture too, so you can see how well camoflouged he is). This would is a perfect home for some critter–I am sure if we set a time-lapse camera there we would find out who.
