One thought on “Legal Matters”

  1. Hello
    I am writing an article about owls for the National Button Society – yes there really is one, established in the late 1930s. I begin my article with thoughts on cave art and rock art – depictions of owls.
    May I use your photograph of the Spedis owl in Washington State? Of course, I will credit you as you would prefer.
    Thank you,
    Anne
