It was the interest and excitement generated by studying Great Gray Owls in Manitoba and adjacent Minnesota that lead to the organization of an international symposium on owls of the northern forest in Winnipeg in February 1987. The idea of holding a second owl symposium was first suggested by Ji…m Duncan, who, with the assistance of his wife Patricia, studied Great Gray Owls, earning a Ph.D. thesis in 1992. Supportive comments by Merlin W. Shoesmith , who played a major role in organizing the 1987 owl symposium, provided strong impetus to hold a second symposium in February 1997, 10 years after the first event. But Denver Holt must also accept some credit for this affair. When Holt informed Duncan In January 1995 that he was planning an owl symposium for 1997 in Missoula, things began to happen at Winnipeg. What had been a hopeful idea became an action plan almost overnight. Further discussions between Duncan and Holt, and several other owl researchers, led to decision by mutual agreement to hold a second owl symposium, broadened to include wider range of species, in Winnipeg. The published proceedings of the 1987 owl symposium describe mainly the technical presentations; the good spirit and fellowship enjoyed by delegates is still a fond memory, and that is part of the reason for wanting to host this second gathering of owl enthusiasts.
