They were called "Howler Owls" or "Howls" for short. They had very strange colorings and markings.

They gasped and gasped, they did!

One of them, the leader, noticed that their very odiferous(sp?) brother DID have a warning system though!

Thankfully, so thankfully, the stinky one turned a vomit-worthy shade of baby-shit green just BEFORE the air became so "God-Awful Rank!"

That was when they were able to move across the interior of the nest..scooting about like a chang gang to free themselves from the stench, if only for a few seconds.

Now that she was away from the nest, she could breathe again! But it was for certain, and with great trembling fear that she began to realize that in fact, the Artic Snowy Owls were migrating with a definite purpose, and a most divine one at that. Although she felt hopeful, she was also chilled, as if seeing a ghost or ghosts for the first time. She also realized that it was her beloved, Stinky, that seemed to have an interesting connection. He neither stank or turned colors before those white snowies came on the scene. She wished to find her friend, Stella, the Oracle. She'd know. She always knew what was really happening in the world of unseen possibly cosmic happenings.

She stopped to rest on a most delightfully convenient oak tree limb and wondered if she remembered how to call on Stella, if she had the correct pitch to summon.

What to do? What to Do? She had summoned Stella to find out the meaning of The Snowy Owls, and now she needed to summon someone else, to revive Stella!

Or maybe she was just Pining??

Oh MY God, What to Do!?

inside Stinky's Mom's head, much like a beebee in a boxcar, until she made the decision to use a bit of both, which really actually produced a third option. Sometimes one must make concessions.

Flying back to the nest she spied her wonderful Babes, including the aromatic boy she'd come to clutch.

"Mom?"

"Hello, Stinky!" she gasped!

The others crowded in.

"I need to take one of you with me. It's important."

"Pick me, pick me!"

" Oh, I'm sorry, sweetums! I need to take Stinky. He's got something that will be useful to help a friend in need."

And off they flew.

Secretly, the others were glad. At least now they could breathe!

Just inside the outer branch where Stella still remained in her trance, Stinky, much like a toddler, waddled in a little closer.

" That's it.. over here.."

" What's wrong with her. Is this your friend?"

" Yes, baby.. Listen carefully..Now I've heard you sing, and I've heard you, you know.."

"Heehee!"

"But I need you to use your little talents together to help my poor Stella!"

Stinky got a strange look on his face and scratched his head with his wing..

" Do you mean you want me to.."

" Yes, go ahead.. just as loud as you can..it's alright."
" Okay", Stinky said shyly.

"..Da da da da dump poot poot poot poot Da da da dump poot poot poot poot,"

Over and over again, until Stella fell into a trance of a waltzer. Waltz, waltz, waltz!

"Oh" Stella lit up, very much alive and well, " What is..."

just like everyone else Stella would be gasping for air, all the while screwing up her beak in the kind of panic of disgust, and frankly laughing her little oracle butt off.

She DID keep waltzing , while Stinky gazed in complete awe, but Stella began to scratch and scratch and scratch! Something..Something was underneath her wing!

Stinky's Mom flew over next to her boy and put her wing on his shoulder.

Stella picked at her underwing, when out came
