	dk-on roosters & owls
		Owls feel that the potential for a negative reaction in society (indirect consequences) could cause so great a civil chaos that potential technical problems must be secondary to concerns of preserving the social fabric.
		The owl assumes that the reality of the problem will be close enough to his projections that society will be able to adjust its efforts as problems arise, handling problems on the fly, as it were.
		The same is true for the owl, who could lose all credibility as a calm, cool and collected citizen by reaching out to the roosters (how can you reassure people once you admit that the roosters have a valid point?).

		The population is estimated to contain at least 3,050 individuals and because of an indication of a population decline in Southern California, this is a species of special concern in that state.

		Now the barred owl is on the move--and it is moving in on the threatened spotted owl.
		But the barred owl will also hunt trout and amphibians in small streams and eat anything else that crosses its path, including grouse." Because the barred owl is such an adaptable hunter, it can live off a home range of only about 1,600 acres in the northern Cascades.
		During territorial disputes, the owls will hoot at each other (their calls are similar, but the spotted's has a slower, hesitant tempo) and fly at each other, but actual combat seems to be rare.

	Ethics and the Environment: The Spotted Owl Controversy
		Under the multilayered canopies of these 200-year-old forests, the owl, known as the northern spotted owl, has fed off the rich plant and invertebrate life created by decaying timber and has nested in the cavities of old trunks.
		The spotted owl is considered an indicator species -- a gauge of the health of the ecosystem that provides its habitat.
		Finally, the owl and its habitat are of immense scientific value, providing opportunities for inquiry and for increasing our understanding of this unique ecosystem and its role in our lives and in those of future generations.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Owl
		Owls compete with each other for territory and food, but fortunately owls of different species can coexist by hunting at different times of the day or night.
		The great gray owl Strix nebulosa, the ural owl Strix uralensis, and the tawny owl Strix aluco all live in the same range, but the great gray owl is a daytime hunter.
		This means that an owl must move its entire head to follow the movement of prey, but it also gives it better focus with both eyes looking in the same direction.

		While the spotted owl was the focus of intense clashes between environmentalists and timber-industry supporters in the early 1990s, those fights centered mostly on national forests.
		Instead, company biologists carefully monitor the owls, Weyerhaeuser says, and logging is designed to maximize owl survival by leaving intact areas considered important to the birds.
		And in some of the places where the environmentalists are complaining, he said, it appears a spotted-owl competitor, the barred owl, has moved in and displaced the spotted owl.
