Subject: [ia-bird] Re: Burrowing Owl, Adair County
Made the trip to the location today, arrived at 7:45am. The location is
definitely a burrow for another animal that has been taken over. Fresh dung
decorations are visible near the mouth of the burrow. Winds have been
howling out of the NNE since I arrived, so I have not caught a glimpse of
the owl yet. There are 4 other possible burrows in the 1 square mile area
to the south and west of the pinned location, but none had any owls
visible. The whole section of land south and west is sandy grasslands, and
is good habitat for the species. I would not be surprised to hear and see
more sightings in this area.
