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.

And it was the following USGS graph contained [...]

I admit I wasn’t ready for the beginning of the week, so while I get my next post together I thought I pass along a few signs I came across during my journey on Maui…a few simple reminders to protect endangered species.

Literally since the dawn of man, the quest for survival has resulted in the need for wildlife management and conservation. As man and man’s habits (nomadic, sedentary) evolved, so too did wildlife management and conservation techniques; taking us from a point of pure anthropocentricity to a place where the health of the system is directly [...]

What do we do with these eggs? And this debated question has nothing to do with which came first but is a topic that has been breaking the surf in sea turtle conservation circles. Sea turtlers world-wide have been pondering three possible scenarios for the fate of sea turtle eggs that have been deposited in [...]
