Report a Burrowing Owl Sighting
Have you seen a burrowing owl or two
or more?
If so, then the Burrowing Owl
Conservation Network is looking
forward to hearing from you. The
information you provide not only
aids in our conservation, research
and tracking efforts, but it offers
burrowing owls a chance for survival
in an ever dynamic world full of
urbanization. Additionally, it
allows us to direct conservation
activities to areas or communities
that require assistance.
As a U.S. Species of Conservation
Concern and listed as either
endangered, threatened or of special
concern in many western states, the
burrowing owl needs immediate action
by concerned and observant people
such as yourself.
Provide as many details as possible
including:
- Date of observation
- Location (as precise as possible)Describe the location (is it an open field, parking lot, construction site, wildlife preserve, etc.)
- Any immediate concerns you observed?
- Number of burrowing owls
- Did you see any leg bands? Can you describe the bands?
- How long have burrowing owls been at this location (i.e.
days, months, years)?
