This cache has been archived.

FailedApparatus: With the Mecklenburg County Park & Rec's new geocaching permit policy, this section of road is banned from having caches along it so this series must go the way of the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus).

Thanks for all those who came out to enjoy the scenery.

Geocache Description:

Avian Highway XII:

Strigiformes

Please DO NOT search for this cache at night.
They often close the gate at dusk.
You do not need to go past the wildlife refuge boundary signs.

The owl is a prime example of the Strigiformes order. Typically a solitary nocturnal creature, the owl relies on keen hearing and eyesight to locate its prey. Notable Strigiformes include Woodsy Owl with the motto "Give a hoot — don't pollute!" and a wise old sage who can determine how many licks it takes to reach the center of a tootsie pop.
