Flight Lines: Night stalker among the natural beauties
It began with a fellow named Joe who wondered, along with some of his neighbors in Petersburg, N. D., whether the owls they were seeing every night in town were something special. A decent photograph of the birds he took recently was e-mailed to the N.D. Game and Fish Department. Turns out, the birds were special. They were barn owls (Tyto alba).By Keith Corliss , September 01, 2010

ALWAYS IN SEASON: Why do most birds form flocks?
