I just saw a "prowler owl" with a four-foot wingspan to mount on a 1/2" pole to scare off bird pests (on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4314418476&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AMT%3A1)  I was wondering if anyone has used this or something like this, and of course, how effective it is.  [By the way, what's the opposite of "decoy?"]
 
I'm trying to read Fred Brison's Pecan Culture, but I'm having trouble getting through Chapter Two.  It is laced with vocabulary like: pericycle, acropetal, xylem, parenchyma, schlerenchyma, medullary ray tissue, abscission, sessile flowers, bract, apical dominance, perianth, peduncle, and I could go on.  I am in bad need of some reference work that will get me up to speed (hopefully illustrated!) and I'm soliciting recommendations right now.  Thank you all very much.
 
I'm a rank beginning pecan orchardist.
