dangerous to both the people and the bird. Baiting also brings the owls closer
to the road which increases their risk of being hit by a car.
Please be considerate of the birds and help educate others who do not know any
better.

energy it needs to survive.

Muscovy duck. I am not sure if this is an escaped game bird or if it is way off
course. It was spotted last week in Central Park in Roseville, just east of
