Excellent news, Scott! Your perseverance and dedication are admirable and inspirational. Though you might like to say a chain of coincidences brought this about, keep this in mind: it’s doubtful CDFG would even have been there had you not been adamant in leading the charge on this issue. I know a lot of people who wouldn’t have known about it had you not been diligent. As Larry points out, this isn’t a time to declare victory and walk away, but it is a time to celebrate a win credited entirely to concerned citizens answering your call to arms. Thank you! And let’s keep the pressure on.

Ah, the forces of good win another battle, but not yet the war. I truly believe that good will eventually win out against badness if good people are paying attention to what is going on around them and take action.

With the help of the blogging community and the Bay Area community, I believe we are on the brink of a new direction for the Western Burrowing Owl. Obviously, a sustained and statewide effort is needed to steer the California Department of Fish and Game to the proper conclusion that this bird needs our help and evicting them from their homes and killing California Ground Squirrels is not the proper way to treat a “Species of Special Concern.”

I want to personally thank Scott and all who helped bring about these events and urge everyone to keep up the constant vigilance needed to win the war to save the Burrowing Owl. Spread the word and get more conservation and bird groups involved. Keep writing letters to California Attorney General Brown and the Director of the CDFG, John McCamman. The time is now. We have momentum. Keep it going!
