>From the East 90 thread:


"Collisions with autos are often the most
common reason for owl fatalities during the winter."

This reminds me that a couple of weeks ago, I was driving from Ballard to
UW at 5 AM along Northlake Way and saw something flying low across the
road, silhouetted against the headlights of an oncoming car a block or so
away. As I passed the last little arm of the park next to the Gasworks
Park Marina, some floodlights out in the marina let me identify a Barn Owl
slaloming through the lawn furniture in the park.
