"I see the spotted owl as a kind of hapless symbol of what we have to do to preserve
a huge and very important ecosystem - the North American temperate rain forests.
We go around to international congresses, telling others to stop cutting down their
rain forests, when we are, in fact, much closer to cutting down the last remaining
old-growth rain forests on our own continent.

The spotted owl needs large tractof unbroken forest to survive. When these
tracts are sliced up by logging operations, others predators come in. The
spotted owl cannot stand the competition and becomes extinct in that area.

I particularly like the mysterious and nocturnal owl. It is always a surprise
to see an owl as it stays within thick cover. I also find the shape of it's face,
with it's two eyes pointed forward, very appealing. Along with their secretive
habits and appealing demeanor, another thing that appealks to me about owls
is that inhabit our old-growth forests; they are the denizens of the
remnants of our sacred spaces.
