But while Garriga and other Catalans have been suffering water shortages in recent years, there’s one group of people that appears to be immune, and even profits from them: the multinational companies extracting millions of litres of water from the very same land. This isn’t just a Spanish issue – across the world, from Uruguay to Mexico, Canada to the UK, many have begun to question whether private corporations should be allowed to siphon off a vital public resource, then sell it back to citizens as bottled water.

The tragedy in Spain makes the country one of the canaries in the coalmine when it comes to understanding the global threat to water security. Can the growing number of angry citizens surrounded by private water plants but left without safe water in their homes force a rethink of how this resource is managed? And as weather patterns change, should private companies continue to have easy access to vital reserves of underground water?

From Cape Wildlife Center

It's a bird! it's a plane! It's an extremely disgruntled screech owl who spent a few nights in a chimney.

Last evening critter control of Cape Cod brought us this screech owl after a customer complained of noises coming from their chimney. To their collective surprise they found an Eastern Screech Owl staring back at them!

After an exam and a thorough de-sooting we determined it was only his pride that was injured in the incident. Owls fly compliantly silently and even some errant soot is enough to disrupt the natural airflow. This extra in-flight noise can be the difference between eating dinner and going hungry! We will keep him for a few days while he gets his affairs (and feathers) in order and rehydrates a bit. After that he will be released back to the wild where he will discontinue his career as a chimney sweep.

All jokes aside, we see this multiple times each year! Cavity nesting owls like screeches and barred owls venture down chimneys in search of food or shelters and become stuck on top of the flu or in the fireplace.

Here's how you can help 1) check inside wood and pot- belly stoves for inhabitants prior to lighting them. 2) visually check the flu on fire places before lighting a fire. 3) most importantly, get a chimney cap! They are cheap, easy to install, and keep critters of all sizes from coming down your chimney. Just make sure to get the Santa friendly version.
