This chapter details the author's field notes from the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The author was awarded a two-week residency in the forest through the Spring Creek Project, which is administered through Oregon State University. The project began in 2003 and will continue until 2203, fully funded. The mission is to keep a “Forest Log” of ecological reflections for two centuries. The chapter then recounts the author's identification of the trees and plants. The trees include Douglas-firs, western hemlock, western red cedars, and Pacific silver firs. Meanwhile, the plants include the Low Oregon grape, trillium, and Linnaea borealis, better known as “twinflower.” However, there were no blooms to speak of at the end of October.

This chapter details the author's field notes from the Hastings Natural History Reservation. The author was particularly interested in studying acorn woodpeckers and their nest cavities. Acorn woodpeckers fascinate scientists because they live in groups, often with multiple breeding males and females, and nonbreeding helpers. The breeders share mates readily, and females lay eggs in a common nest, which is always a cavity nest. Moreover, they are quite vocal, even for woodpeckers; some would call them “articulate.” At Hastings, ornithologists annotate their field notes in “bird time” rather than “people time.” This is because birds do not transition to daylight saving time the way people do. The chapter then discusses the “ambush,” which is a capture technique developed at Hastings.
