In Carl Hiaasen's novel Hoot, chapter twenty describes the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Mother Paula's pancake house that is about to be built in Coconut Cove, Florida. The townspeople and the press gather in this chapter as Chuck Muckle and Coconut Cove dignitaries take gold-painted shovels to break ground on the new restaurant. 

Roy tries to prove that owls are living on the property by showing pictures Mullet Fingers took. The pictures are of poor quality, however, and Chuck Muckle claims the picture is a lump of mud, not an owl.  

Mullet Fingers, also known as Napoleon Leep, has buried himself in an owl's burrow to try to stop construction. Beatrice's soccer friends and other students from Trace Middle School join hands in protest of the construction, which would destroy the owls' habitat. Chuck Muckle loses his temper and attacks the rubber snakes Mullet Fingers brought to scare him away. He also attacks a reporter. He is losing control of the publicity of this event, and it causes him to make bad choices. His only goal is to discredit Roy, Beatrice, and Mullet Fingers so the restaurant can be built without challenges. The students have all joined together in defense of the owls. 

On the last page of the chapter, Roy shows Beatrice an owl flying overhead. 

Overhead, a small, dusky-colored bird was flying in marvelous darting corkscrews. Roy and Beatrice watched in delight as it banked lower and lower, finishing with a radical dive toward the burrow at the center of the circle. Everybody whirled to see where the bird had landed. All of the sudden, the singing stopped. There was Mullet Fingers, trying not to giggle, the daredevil owl perched calmly on the crown of his head.

This quote shows where the owl landed at the end of this chapter. The owl landing on Mullet Fingers's head proved the existence of the owls, which put a series of events in motion that eventually permanently stops construction.
