Lighten up folks! It is not the worst thing in the world to be taken in by a humorous prank. Didn't the quest for the owl sound a bit over the top? I can just see it. (not to say that some of us wouldn't go over the top to see a bird...) I have caused myself to be fooled many times, and could not help but smile on reading this. Thanks for a chuckle, Hans. And thanks Jen B for explaining it all in a kind and informative way.
