An ode to the endangered Western Screech Owls who make their homes in the ancient old growth forests of Southern Vancouver Island, unceded Pacheedaht and Ditidaht territory, currently facing massive campaigns of deforestation brutally enforced by the RCMP and the colonial government of so called British Columbia. Track dedicated to all the heroes on the blockades putting their bodies on the line to defend these sacred places.

Main owl sample recorded by Royann Petrell at Eden Camp May 21. Other samples (Swainson's and Varied Thrushes) recorded by me at Eden Camp and Eden Grove in early June 2021. Marbled Murrelet recorded by Thomas Sander, 1987 and the female alarm call of the Northern Goshawk recorded by Geoffrey Keller, 1995.

If you enjoy this please donate money to the blockade and help out at  camp if you are able. Search "indigenous land defence fairy creek" for the Go Fund Me page, follow "fairycreekblockade" on all the socials for updates.
