If by chance you are going through Harrison, Arkansas, drop by the Home Depot. It has gotten an unique addition to the store.A great horned owl now lives in the Harrison store's garden center, looking down on surprised customers shopping for flowers and paving stones.
I always like to see businesses accommodate wildlife. I hate it when development comes through and destroys the wildlife habitat. There were owls near my house but too much development has chased them off. I miss the meadowlarks too.
Rusty Scarborough, the education program coordinator at Delta Rivers Nature Center in Pine Bluff, said the Home Depot would be a good spot for an owl. Rodents are the predominant food source for a great horned owl and stores with garden centers stock bird seed and crop seeds — big draws for rodents.

seeing money with the story? or where is the money with the story?
I only prefer having the nest moved to where the who (owl) would have better intended had it not been for the self-serving constructions made by others.
Reminds me, to some extent, of the Spotted Owls. They ended up being found at Wal-Mart parking lots.
Some animals adjust, many don't. But I have seen development in this area, and miss the wildlife that use to inhabit much of the area.
