I never realised that these owls were so affectionate with each other! How wonderful to watch them snuggle up to one another.

These particular owls are closer to birds and they are cute. Thank you for investing in these owls and I hope the other owls also be taking care by conservationists.

Thank you for saving the burrowing owls! This is a really unique location/situation as well. Truly memorable. I recently put together a music video to educate the Girl Scouts about the burrowing owl and used a clip from your footage. I hope you'll check it out! I added your CZcams handle to the clip and put the link back to your video in the description below: czcams.com/video/SyIrFtjznAk/video.html

How do i get in touch with this man, this is so inspiring

[@hulltacemergencymeddr.hull4370]

I have been watching a burrowing owl or perhaps he was watching me? I feed the hummers and other winter birds but feel the attracted blue birds chased my owl off! They would occasionally eat a Hummer but mainly they watched our 4 acre field from a thick woods on our property. I was thinking of building a burrow for them and wanted to learn what measurements you used. A lot of people around me are logging and working the land, We’re planting and enjoying the land.

How anbout stocking badgers and prairie dogs

[@dsims868]

Introduce prairie dogs etc. As well.?.?.

[@cg7509]

Why don't they release prairie dogs at the depot?

[@matthewcauthorn9731]

Only in Umatilla? There is a thriving population in Eastern Oregon. Yes save the burrowing owls but don't lie.

[@gabrielwinter7489]
