Home for the winter

On Friday, October 10 Patient #0846 was released. "The timing could not be better," said Golden Gate Audubon Executive Director Mark Welther. "Volunteers cleaned up the area, set up a protective fence, the first Burrowing Owls returned and now [WildCare] Patient #0846 is ready to be released-- all in the same week."

WildCare's Director of Animal Care Melanie Piazza reported, "We are thrilled that, thanks to the fine efforts of GGA and the City of Berkeley, people will have a rare opportunity to view an endangered species in an urban setting."

On October 21, an email from the GGA docent Della Dash gave us the wonderful news that WildCare Patient #0846 had established his own spot.

She emailed us to say, "Thanks again for all your hard work on this project -- we REALLY appreciate WildCare's involvement. I also wanted to let you know that I've been checking on your owl, and when I went out on Sunday, he was comfortably behind the fence, at the most southern end -- sitting atop a large boulder near a big burrow."

"Yesterday I checked again, and he was in the dirt near the rocks to the right of the large boulder he had been using, still behind the fence. So, I guess he's comfortable there, and has made peace with the other owls we saw."

============================================================================

Ah, this is so beautiful in our mad, mad, world. Bless these souls for their care, their patience and going the extra mile.

Little owl, live in peace in your new home.
