Today's Tacoma newspaper, _The News Tribune_, features a large
photo of a female Snowy Owl gripping a freshly defunct rabbit
and a caption saying that we're having the "biggest incursion
of the swivelheaded, hazel-eyed creatures here in nearly 25
years."

The photo, on page B-1, was taken yesterday in a Parkland field
near the intersection of 123rd Street South and Ainsworth Avenue
South.

Hmmm. It seems that the word is getting out.
