    Avery Island Screech Owl looking out on th eworld.
    "Who Cooks for You" hoots this Avery Island Barred Owl. These owls don't migrate, and don't even travel far, but they will move to another part of their territory if a Great Horned Owl, their most danagerous predator, shows up. Barred Owl fossils dating back to the Pleistocene age 11,000 yeras ago have been found in Florida and Tennesee. Another interesting fact: a young Barred Owl can climb a tree by grabbing the bark with its beak and talons, and then flapping its wings. Source: Cornell All About Birds.
    Edmund and I took this photo of American White Pelicans several years ago, and it is the only time before or since that we have seen these birds on Avery Island. American White Pelicans eat fish, of course, and are known to cooperate while feeding by chasing fish to each other. We didn't enlarge the photo or really pay that much attention to it at the time, but when we saw it full screen on our computer, we noticed that the black Cormorants mingled quite happily with the visiting pelicans.
