Sending these links along in case you haven't seen the articles about the barn owls dying en'masse along I-84 near Boise, Idaho.
The articles say that the death rate goes up significantly in the winter - which only makes sense to me because the road retains warmth which attracts their prey at night.
A little public-awareness is warranted!!! Not just in Boise, but in general.... I have worked on way too many owls to think that this is not a significant problem everywyere!
