Michael Orchin Quotations

We're not going to tie ourselves to trees or have sit-ins or any of that. But we're probably going to be sending out letters and going to council meetings.

I think, if nothing else, it gave us some legitimacy.

It did get the word out to a lot more people about the owl and how fragile their environment is.

The problem is when he gets to the point that other people would say I don't want him anymore and throw him in a field. He won't get that chance.

We're elated. The more times the owl is mentioned, the more aware people get about it. The more recognition, the better.

As soon as you get the eyes covered, they're babies.

Sometimes being a friend to wildlife means you can't always be friendly to all forms of wildlife.

You take the eggs and shake them kind of violently. You're not playing games there.

This has been an ever-increasing problem. Now it's expanding and they're turning up everywhere.

They've been popping up a little earlier. I'd say about 10 percent have hatched already, at most. That's just a ballpark figure.

They're a species of special concern. They're not knocking on extinction's door, but they're not far off.

It's a big problem. No one is quite sure how it's going to be attacked. They do eat a lot of local wildlife.

It's a good Cape Coral-centered event. Education doesn't always have to be tedious and painful.

It's not going to cut their taxes in half, but maybe they could get a $50 credit.

These guys could do well in an urban area. They are foragers.
