Comments:  Douglas's Squirrel near Flaming Geyser SP, Washington (1/16/2006). At dusk, a Western Screech-owl began calling nearby, the first I'd ever heard. Within just moments, a strange growl-like noise came from the tree just in front of me. (Always fun while alone in the woods at night.) I was certain an owl must have landed right before me - at least until I heard a distinctly mammal-like chatter. The source was this less-than-amused squirrel, also a first sighting for me.
