Excellent Burrowing Owl photo there Scott. I encourage everyone to click on the link to your guest article also. Nice work. I hope the new developer decides to protect himself and the owls by putting up another fence and the local law helps with the unwanted activity.

Thanks for keeping us informed on this Burrowing Owl colony in Antioch.
