TN-Birders,

The Cookeville Herald-Citizen publishes articles from its archives.  I thought 
you might find this one interesting:

55 YEARS AGO:

* They grow big owls down in Boma. Junior Maynard, who suffered injuries 
serving in WWII, has spent most of his time in veteran's hospitals since the 
war ended, but his aim is still true. The newspaper says he shot and killed a 
barn owl on his farm in Boma this week that had a wing-span of six feet. (Nov. 
20, 1947)

Now we know what happened to some of the barn owl population.
