Blame the burrowing owls. Fascinating little critters that they are, the tiny birds are apparently the reason Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge adopted a scorched-earth policy regarding habitat.

It appears to have worked. Two adult owls raised five babies on the 15,000-acre plus refuge this summer. The...
