somebody posted some years gack that an eagle flew
` over them up on the Neah Bay raptor count, carrying
a whimpering puppy..

and, a Biologist acquaintance, now retired, who taught
for years at Lewis & Clark, reported watching a GHO
nest during several nesting seasons out his office
window..it was up in a tall fir, as I recall.

he said about once a week during the nesting season one
or the other of the owls would bring in a cat to feed
the nestlings..

all the more reason to keep kitty inside...
