Re: The Hawk and the Owl story published
Yet, a five alarm fire, that destroyed a local boat yard, with a forty year history, and, which put probably 40-50 people out of work, never, and I mean never, made it into the local news, either print of broadcast, a few years ago. Which is about the time I stopped reading the local and regional papers. As Carl Kolchak, (obscure pop reference), used to say, "That's News!" But, it would require actually having local reporters and stringers to report it. Maybe, even pay for a photographer. I find it even more annoying when events such as a chicken snarl or duck walk, appears in a paper after a major event is essentially ignored. These people think that the internet is killing newspapers and television news, but that's not true, those institutions are killing themselves.

Re: The Hawk and the Owl story published
Well done, Ken. An excellent photo story. I've been preoccupied lately and missed the original post. Interesting that the author thought the fact that you are "former Ford Motor worker" was relevant to the story.

Re: The Hawk and the Owl story published
Congrats, Ken! It is a worthy set of great images that tell the story well. However I find it very hard to believe that the writer of the piece was able to resist calling the owl "unflappable" in facing the confrontation.
