The new Grizzlies Hockey Arena being built in West Valley, Utah has its first fan. A barn owl has taken up roost on a beam inside the arena. Construction crews say the owl isn't bothering them...and it doesn't seem to be bothered by all the construction. MAYBE the West Valley field being plowed under used to be the owls home...or maybe a hockey fan wants to get good seats.(SOT)Construction workers did call the Division of Wildlife Resources because they were concerned about the owl. If he doesn't leave on his own in the next few days...D-W-R plans to stop by and give him some help moving out of the arena.

Month-old barn owl (Tyto alba) chick reacts as its leg is banded by wildlife officers in Ohio. Barn owl populations are in decline in some areas due to habitat loss and banding is being done to learn more about their migration and breeding behavior. Barn owls are common throughout much of the world.

We need to know, not just how many animals we've got of each different species, but also who we've got because once we've got all that information, we can send it to the international animal database called ISIS and that forms the very foundation of all of our endangered species breeding programmes." 15.

Wide exterior of London Zoo STORLINE It was tally time at London Zoo on Thursday as zoo managers began an annual cataloguing of its residents. From owls to otters, penguins to pythons, it's no easy task when there are more than 17,500 creatures to count, and the final results could take weeks to compile. The census is required as part of the zoo's licence terms, and the data is used for zoo management and international breeding programmes for endangered animals. Most animals in the zoo have microchips in their bodies, making counting a little less daunting. Fish and animals with camouflage properties - like leaf insects - are trickier, and the tiniest ones like ants are counted in colonies, not as individuals. "It's really important that we do this stock take every year to make sure that we check and reconcile all the data and records that we take day-in day-out throughout the year," said zoological director David Field. "Once we've got all that information, we can send it to the international animal database called ISIS (International Species Information System) and that forms the very foundation of all of our endangered species breeding programmes." New additions to the zoo being counted for the first time included baby Ziggy, an endangered white-naped mangabey monkey, and Maxilla, a black and white colobus monkey. The zoo also welcomed two endangered Sumatran tigers that keepers hope will bring some cubs in 2013. The tigers were matched by an international breeding programme to ensure a genetically-diverse population of animals, and will be meeting visitors in a newly-expanded enclosure in the spring. There are now fewer than 400 of the big cats, native to Indonesia, according to the World Wildlife Fund. London Zoo has around 750 different species of animal. The zoo stock take is taking place in 400 licensed zoos around the UK.

Wide shot of Books of Wonder store AMAZON.COM VNR June 13, 2003 25. Various shots of Harry Potter book in Amazon.com warehouse STORYLINE: With the release of the latest Harry Potter book set for Saturday (June 21), bookstores in the United States are busily preparing for what is expected to be the fastest selling title ever. J.K. Rowlings' "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is the fifth instalment in the Harry Potter series. Eight million copies have been printed by publisher "Scholastic." Barnes and Noble, the world's largest bookseller, expects to sell over one million copies by June 25th. Smaller independent bookstores like Books of Wonder - a childrens bookstore in Manhattan - would normally order between forty and sixty copies of a new book. But for Harry Potter they've ordered 1000 and expect those to be sold-out by the end of the weekend. Some retailers like "Toys R Us" are using the book's launch to push Harry Potter merchandise ranging from Lego kits to lollipops. The Barnes and Noble store in New York's Lincoln Center will be decorated to look like Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter stories, and Books of Wonder will have live owls. Because of the secrecy surrounding the book's plot, US warehouses and distribution centres storing the work have hired extra security guards. And pre-orders are being readied for mailing so they'll arrive at customers homes on Saturday. Barnes and Noble says it has 1,755 tons of Harry Potter books in its warehouses ready to be loaded onto trucks in what it's calling the largest logistical operation in the company's history.
