I was surprised to see a Burrowing Owl this morning in Cesar Chavez Park at the diagonally opposite side of the park from its enclosure. It was on the west side, only about 30 feet above the main trail in an area with unleased dogs not very far from it (fortunately, they did not seem to notice it). GPS location was 37°52'19.13" N 122°19'21.23" W. It seemed perfectly healthy. I do not know if it is thinking of residing in this section, or just looking around. Perhaps this is not an unusual sighting for this owl, but I am posting in case it is relevant to the ongoing discussion about adequate protections for this species at the park.
