Hello, fellow birders:
If you can get your hands on today's (Feb. 23) StarTribune, either in =
print
form or electronically, dash to page C10, on the back of the Sports =
section
for the article titled "Talon Show."

The article is illustrated with a sequence of four photos by Bill =
Marchel
showing a great gray owl plunging for its prey--these are the most
astonishing, awe-inspiring pictures I've seen yet of this awesome =
creature.
There's a fairly short article on the left-hand side of the page; it =
notes
that nearly 500 great grays have been killed along roadsides in =
collisions
with vehicles, a discouraging statistic.

Anyway, try to check it out, the photos will make your day.

Regards,
Val Cunningham
St. Paul, Minn.
