CBS News picked up on the plight of the Blue Ridge Development burrowing owl eviction in Antioch, CA and presented some details in a featured story tonight. The video went out at 6pm in the Bay Area and will air in other California markets (i.e. Sacramento) at 10pm. They do not provide an embedded video option so check out the link and help spread the word about the Bay Area’s dwindling burrowing owl population.

Wildlife advocate, conservationist and simply captivated by marine life. Currently working to complete a full life's circle...beginning with a love of wildlife biology opted instead for a degree in microbiology and molecular biology, became a research biologist, returned to school for a degree in environmental sciences/fisheries & wildlife biology, and as of today I am still on my journey...which I am glad to share!

Excellent, Scott! Getting the word out is half the battle. I’m thrilled to see it’s getting some play in television news. Let’s hope enough people willing to act saw the report.
