Why you hear owls hooting more in October

This story was originally published in October 2021. People often ask where I find the inspiration to write a different column every week. Sometimes I get inspiration from alert readers. For instance, I recently received mail, asking me to explain why owls are hooting in October. My first answer is that they like to make Halloween spookier. Messing with humans makes them giggle. However, my second answer may be closer to the mark. Mating season has already begun. Maine has three common nesting owls. One of them, the tiny northern saw-whet owl, generally leaves Maine during the coldest months. The other two don’t migrate. In fact, great horned and barred owls don’t even wander very much. They always have some notion of their territories, and are apt to proclaim it periodically. The hootin’ and hollerin’ starts in August, but intensifies in October. Great horned owls start nesting…

Gentle nibbles: how to understand the signals dogs use to communicate with people

The gentle nibbles of dogs do not always represent a sign of aggression. In certain situations, this behavior can express affection, interest in playing, or a search for attention, although its meaning depends on the context and the relationship with people. Veterinarian Pancho Cavero explained that this behavior can be part of the daily interactions between animals and their families. Therefore, before interpreting it as a problem, it is important to observe when it appears and what other signals accompany the gesture. Additionally, the behavior could be related to experiences from the first weeks of life. During this stage, puppies nibble, groom, and play with each other, actions that contribute to developing bonds and learning interaction guidelines. To understand what a dog is trying to communicate, it is not enough to only observe its mouth. It is also necessary to pay attention to…

For the first time in more than 100 years, a long-lost animal has returned to the San Mateo Coast

In a promising sign of wildlife recovery in the Bay Area, researchers have observed a river otter living along the San Mateo coast, the first documented sighting of the nimble, furry-coated swimmers there since the 1800s, scientists say. Once numerous across the United States, river otters — a more slender cousin of sea otters who spend their time mostly in inland streams, creeks and bays — were hunted for their dense fur in the 1800s and also experienced population declines due to development and toxic chemicals. In recent years, river otters have made a comeback across Northern California, with sightings increasingly common along the shores of San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Marin and Sonoma counties. But they have been slow to expand their range down the coast south of the Golden Gate Bridge. “To see them showing up on their own where they haven’t been for…
