I‘m still shaking my head over a story I saw on our local 6 pm news this evening. I was on the phone, but I looked up and saw this on the TV:
And there was a reporter, standing near the tree with the nesting Great Horned owls, talking about how too many people are coming around to see the owls, and it’s disturbing them. Really!? He included some good shots of the intersection, too, just to make sure everyone knows exactly where not to go to see and disturb the owls.
‘Scuse me while I go bang my head against the wall. Again.
Fall out of the tree with this one. Media! (when will they run over someone and they report that story on themselves?)
I’m sure that’s their back-up plan for when the intended story doesn’t work out.
PT, the mind boggles. One can only assume the news team thought they were exempt. Incredible!
I fear for the owls’ survival now that the whole state knows they are there. The article accompanying the video explains the danger.
DOH!!
