Hoser John Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Spotted owl Tombstone water warThe owl is a threatened species, and until a few days ago its presence in fire-scorched Miller Canyon was a matter of speculation. But now that it has surfaced, the owl could be a game-changer in the water war between the U.S. Forest Service and the Wild West city made famous by the 30-second gunfight at the O.K. Corral.Tombstone is trying to repair a 26-mile pipeline that has brought mountain spring water into the city since 1881. It was damaged during last summer's Monument Fire and monsoon rains that brought mud, water and boulders crashing down the denuded slopes.The Miller Peak Wilderness Area, where owls nest in the trees above Tombstone's pipeline, was hit particularly hard. Sections of pipeline simply vanished, and Tombstone's reservoir ran dry by August.http://www.cnn.com/2... ... ?hpt=hp_c1s Posts: 415 Joined: Wed Jan 27, 2010 4:05 pm Top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 What a Hoot!Soooooo The spotted Owl that only could live in Old Growth Forest loves Burnt Parched Scrub Brush Forest now too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's an illegal MEXICAN spotted owl to boot. They say it was high in a pine tree but the photo shows one in some other kind of tree. Many wars have been fought over issues less important than a city's water supply. Offhand, I'd say that Tombstone should use heavy equipment despite what ANYBODY says AND I think the funds should come from FEMA. Has the Governor declared a disaster?
