Aldo Leopold, May 13, 1942 
"The warden and a young farmer near town have been watching an owl's
nest 
near his farm. A few days ago they 4ound two fish in the nest; I believe

they were suckers. We thought they had probably been picked up from the 
bank somewhere, but the other night this farmer was down by the creek about

dusk, and there was a stamp in the middle of the creek which flew up and
lit 
on a post nearby, and he put his flashlight on him, and it was Mr. Owl who

had evidently been fishing.'
