[mou] Boreal Owl caching food

[Jim Williams]

For an interesting photograph of a Boreal Owl in a nest box surrounded 
by captured prey items, go to

The address takes you to the current issue of BioScience magazine.

The bird apparently was caching food.

There is an accompanying article entitled "The Puzzles of Population 
Cycles and Outbreaks of Small Mammals Solved?" that can be downloaded 
as a pdf file. It might be interesting reading in this, the winter of 
owls brought to us by prey shortages.

Thanks to friend Mike Mulligan of Calgary for providing the information.
