Hello Charlie,

There was nothing wrong of posting the breeding Great Gray Owls by you and
Ryan.This is a new sighting and discovered by you both.We were talking about
the Great Gray Owls in Havilla where they were studied for years ,and a
ranger in Tonasket told us personally not to advertise this sighting and of
the breeding activity and residence of the birds yearround. I noticed on
Bisquit Ridge Rd. there is a lot of property now what can not be entered" NO
TRESPASSING "
what when we was there in the 1993 was not sighted.Thank you for such a good
finding of the Great Gray Owls.

Ruth Sullivan
