I had intended to keep a snippet of details regarding the plight of the Antioch owls in this section, but as the battle heated up early in the year I lost track of posting new details. This was especially true since I was trying to keep a valid "owl count" from prying eyes; owls returned to only be evicted again. Well, as of July the burrowing owl and ground squirrel population has remained at a disheartening zero.
Although things are bleak for "my" owls, I am happy to say that my burrowing owl conservation activities have moved to the next level within the city, county, state and nation because there are more colonies that are in dire need of assistance.
With that said, keep an eye on Journowl.com and head on over to a new organization that is dedicated to turning a declining population into a thriving population.

But for those of you in the know or [...]

Community involvement is just what the conservationist ordered. And I am ecstatic that people are taking notice of the need for a little positive human intervention. It’s a story that has been developing for a few months and technically it all began at the end of March with a tip from the Feds. But don’t [...]
