[mou] Great Gray Owl eating squirrel

[Laura Erickson]

I got a call from a woman on Oakley street in my neighborhood (Lakeside) in 
Duluth this morning.  She's had a Great Gray Owl hanging around her yard 
for over a week.  This morning it killed a squirrel, and was ripping it 
apart and eating.  She was both surprised and delighted to find this 
potential solution to her squirrel situation.

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of 
birds.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of 
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
