Leah Grachik reports, in the San Francisco Chronicle today:
On Bernal Heights last week, the death of two horned owls was marked with an Owl Wake attended by about 40 adults, 10 children and a number of frisky dogs, reports Monica Conrady. This took place at the top of the Esmeralda Street steps. "These great horned owls have been the talk of the neighborhood for some months now, and everybody had a tale to tell about them" as a candle was passed around from speaker to speaker. Memorial cards were handed out by Art Siegel, a photographer who had often focused on the owls. The birds were said to have died of disease.
