Fw: A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi all,

Heimo Mikkola is wrapping up his new Owls of the World book and needs some photographs. There's some pretty tough photos to get from Africa (e.g. Itombwe owl), but someone must have a good photo of an Usambara eagle owl they could send? The list of species he still needs photos of is attached.

Best, Darcy

Dear Friends,

Hope you are all well and ready for 2012. I have just finalized my Owls of the World with 249 species,

but it is sad to see that we are still lacking photos for some 60 species of owls. Any help you could give

in this last minute photo HUNT for instance through your birding or photographer friends

would be highly appreciated by me and more so by my UK publisher. David Hollands has already removed

two not photographed owls from list - thanks for that.

Thanks in advance for any help you may render in this and

A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

Yours,

Heimo
