>From "Everett" the Owl:

Why is it that every time one of us "spotties" tries to leave the damp dark
old growth woods some one always captures us and puts us right back in there
again. If "Perry" the Peregrine can make it in the big city why don't you let
us give it a try?

We wouldn't even tell anyone that we can survive outside the old growth
boundaries.

signed--"Everett" the Owl (for a day) :-(

PS. Sorry, I can't respond to any replys--no email in the woods.
