Exactly. The more letters they receive the harder it is to ignore the problem. I have had conversations with CDFG biologists and was told that spotlighting the inefficient conservation policies and asking for court intervention is the only way to get CDFG management attention.

Thanks Amber! I indeed received your letter and was very impressed. Concerned citizens calling for action and continually bringing it to the attention of the Attorney General is the only way we can change the eviction policy that is causing the burrowing owl population decline. As of Jan. 15th, the last occupied burrow that I know of was closed…the one highlighted in the photo. I have not seen the pair since Wed/Thur and I am not sure where they or the others have gone. To make matters worse we are experiencing a storm in which the rain has been falling since late Saturday and expected to continue all week.

With letters like yours I am hopeful we can force a review and change to CDFG practices.

Done (and again to state contacts). Like Amber, I offered some suggestions on possible compromises between development wants and owl needs. I’m sure my voice will be one among many and won’t carry the weight of CA residents, but a choral of singers is harder to tune out than a single voice.

Done and done. I copied you on a letter that I sent to Kiper and several others with an idea I had. Maybe naive, but I’m always game for tossing an idea out there. Sounds like time is running out for these owls…have you got any idea where the owls are going?
