My name is Mark H.X. Glenshaw and I am an award-winning naturalist. I focus my attention both in the field and in the library on the wildlife found in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. A gem of an urban park, Forest Park hosts a startling and consistently increasing range and depth of wildlife. I have closely observed and documented the activities of a male Great Horned Owl, his mates and their offspring since late December 2005. I have named the male: Charles. This observation and documentation and the related research are the most challenging, rewarding, stimulating and complex undertaking I have ever undertaken. I lead owl prowls and give talks on these owls for groups and individuals. Thanks for reading!
