In spring, you may spy the wren scolding from a branch, or perhaps singing his varied, bubbling song. The winter wren is known more by its chatter and song than by its appearance. Like most wrens, the winter wren is quick to notice and announce disturbances to the rest of the forest. Once you locate the sound the bird's scolding and chatter, watch carefully for its darting, almost mouse-like movements in the brush. Other birds add color and music to the lowland forest as well.
Slugs have two tentacles on their head, which tapers to a long body and pointed tail.
Our species of banana slug occupies forests from western Oregon north to southwestern Alaska. Other species of banana slugs are found in western California. Habitat - Damp lowland forests. This slime is vital to the slug in several ways, by enabling it to slide easily over logs, leaves and whatever else lies in its path. Slug trails can often be found meandering along leaves or smooth rocks.
