Dear Tweeters

It turns out that my colleague Joe Garbini took two pictures
of the "Arboretum Owl", which he has sent to me, and which are
available here:

These photos are unretouched ... I hope they are sufficient
for an identification.

Just to mention, that original post was *mine*, not Connie's!

So if this owl is a "mega-bird" ... then the credit is entirely
due to Joe and Jaime Garbini!

And if should be just an "urban owl", oh well ... as Connie
says "If you don't look, you don't see!", and I hope folks
weren't too inconvenienced.

Happy birding ... John Sidles
