Spotted owls still struggling to hang on

Not that I've seen either here, in Kent Wa. Maybe a great horned owl or screech owl, but no barred. However, it seems that the spotted owl, according to this article, isn't losing ground due to loggers, but the naturally agressive competitors for space, the barred owl.

On a related note, squirrels. I often see the Western gray squirrels dumpster diving at PLU. But yesterday, I had to doublecheck, a red squirrel, the less agressive cousin, ran across the parking lot.
