According to an article by a wildlife biologist published in the San Franpsycho Commiecle in the late "gay" nineties, the New York barred owls left the New York bars and flew west to seduce the meeker northwestern spotted owls who enjoyed the same food source and bread them out of existence.
The GovernMental EnvironMental Communutty where constantly trying to cover up the sex scandal by blaming it on the politically weak timber industry.
With the Lame-Stream media's eager help, they have kept from us all these bitter years that those northwesten and CA spotted owls never had their habitat destroyed by clear cutting old growth, but were instead screwed to death by their rowdy, sex-starved NY cousins!!!
I didn't mean to rain on you reply by correcting it like this, but I just couldn't let history be re-written even one more time!!! (grin)
They fixed it by listing the barred owl as endangered as well.
I have it on good authority that both barred owls and spotted owls are very tasty, especially when you eat only the breast and throw away the rest.
Bald Eagles eat the throw aways, so it’s a net gain for the endangered ones.
