Hi, I am preparing a general interest owl talk for use by Travis Audubon in
our outreach efforts. The focus will be our expected central Texas owls:
Great Horned, Barred, Eastern Screech, Barn, Short-eared and Burrowing.
People like personal encounter stories about owls, and I would love to
share a few, so if you have one to tell, please let me know.  Maybe one
scraped your head after you imitated it?  Someone died after they heard the
owl call their name?  That is a book by the way -
http://www.amazon.com/Heard-Owl-Call-My-Name/dp/0440343690#
An owl myth/fairy tale you were told as a kid to keep you in line or that
reinforced owls as evil or wise?
Any owl expressions you use besides *give a hoot *and *wise as an owl*?

I also could use a few more photos of any of the above owls, especially if
they are active rather than perched- drinking at your bird bath, eating
prey, preening, etc. You would be given photo credit on the PowerPoint.

Thanks for your help.

P,S, I was just in the Valley at Cactus Creek Ranch and the ranch owner
said her Barn Owl was sitting on 7 eggs right now.
