I think the Barred Owl is getting a raw deal. Are they helping the
situation? Nope. But we all know what started this problem. It's not the Barred
Owls fault that a Spotted Owl can't survive in a checkerboard patterned forest.
What is Oregon doing so differently that the rate of Spotted Owl is decling
at only 3% to Washington's much higher rate? Bryan Mathews,
