RE: Something for our FAU brethren
Hootie-hoot!, and Happy Owl Awareness Day to you.

Quote:Charlotte has a spooky secret: the North Carolina city is home to a robust population of very large barred owls -- a species long-believed by ornithologists to require old growth forest for survival. According to ecologists doing the most extensive field study ever done on the species, the owls see urban life as an upgrade on the old woods, and Charlotteans are not at all creeped out by the big birds that share their yards.

I do love me some owls. We have about 10 eastern Screech Owls that live in the trees around our property and I go out at dusk every night to say hi and get screeched at.

Also, Charlotte's athletics teams were originally known as the owls (we were a night school at the time).

That's why the Rice board is called The Parliament

And George Clinton, the founder of Parliament, grew up near Charlotte's campus. The circle is complete.
