S e c r e t s:
Peter’s 'Brain Trust' is an homage to all owl varieties, and so is in essence 'every-owl!' The names of well-known owl varieties are carved on the base of these lifelike fellows. Inside, a remarkable event that will take place on June 8, 2004 is commemorated: The transit of Venus. This refers to the day Venus will pass directly between Earth and our Sun, the first time this phenomenon has occurred since 1882. At that time, Venus will appear to our eyes as a small black dot against the sun. Savvy collectors will note that Peter’s signature mouse has gone missing! Since mice happen to be a favored owl snack, it sure makes one wonder'
