Some times things just fall into place.
I had been contacted by the Burrowing Owl Recovery Project here in Manitoba…the project coordinator asked if I would be interested in visiting their release site…silly question.
The project had been out to remove enclosures that protect the owls during the breeding, incubation and until the owlets are mobile and able to fly. After the removal the owlets are able to fly about the pasture land and return to the man made burrow or use one of the many gopher holes for protection.
I will say it was an exciting time spent alone with these little owls…since the Burrowing Owls where a first for me.
