Chris,

I cheated on that one, using the correct English name and looking up a
direct term when stumped. The Spotted Owl is an endangered species in our
Northwest, the source of great contention between our tree huggers and our
tree cutters -- hence the recipe. The problem is that "spotted" wants to
translate as "soiled." Root word is "Schmutz" and that made total sense at
the time. I think "mottled" (geflekt) would have been a better choice, but I
was wrapped up in the correct English term. A good example of what does not
translate.
