Burrowing Owl m. - a photo on Flickriver

Burrowing Owl m.

            Maricopa, AZ
Our community sponsored a Burrowing Owl restoration project on one of the greenbelts to attract displaced Owls during development. Four engineered nesting burrows were installed and then a pair of Burrowing Owls were brought in the fall of 2021 and placed in an enclosed screened-in habitat. They were hand fed for 3 months with the plan they would imprint on the nesting area and stick around during release. After release they flew the coop never to be seen again!  Didn't like the venue or the menu apparently? 
The good news is we now have a new less fussy pair who have just discovered this prime nesting real estate. I introduce you to our new resident male. I got a sneak peek of the misses also this AM but she went back down right away, so fingers crossed they are moving in permanently!
