I love it when a plan comes together and I am even more thrilled when volunteers have an opportunity to see the fruits of their labor.  Although this story and more photos will be included in our upcoming newsletter, I just couldn’t pass up the chance to share some good news with everyone.  During our October 22, 2011 event to expand habitat in Sonoma, CA (a partnership between Sonoma Land Trust and Sonoma Birding), volunteers were given a firsthand glimpse into the life of Burrowing Owls, who could now be seen enjoying the safety of homes installed in mid-July. 

It was a perfect opportunity for people donating their weekend to Burrowing Owls to actually see conservation in action, and it reiterated the need for suitable habitat to aid this declining species.   Through our partnerships and the incredible hard work of those who joined us in Sonoma, we were able to install an additional 4 artificial burrows. And we can’t wait for more owls!
