Both of these snippets are from a recording made last May at a lake 
in a patch of forest in the Coast Range of northwest Oregon. It was 
around 5am - twilight but still dark enough to need a flashlight to 
find the trail. It was very quiet then and so were these sounds.

This first one sounds like an osprey to me.

This second and more distant sound began about three minutes later 
and continued at a steady pace for a good two minutes. Could it be a 
Northern Pigmy Owl?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
