It's not going to be a good Thanksgiving for Oregon loggers. Instead of Turkey we should be eating Spotted Owl. Rob T.
Obama administration increases 'critical habitat' for northern spotted owl
http://www.oregonlive.com/environment/index.ssf/2012/11/obama_administration_increases.html#incart_river_default
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated 9.6 million acres of critical habitat for the northern spotted owl this morning, nearly double the last designation in 2008.
The acreage in Oregon, Washington and California won't be off limits to logging. But the service's decision requires
heightened federal review of logging projects on lands owned by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, the bulk of the designated land.
The northern spotted owl has been at the center of the Northwest's timber wars since it was listed as threatened in 1990 under the Endangered Species Act.
