Just before class the school principal, Kara Rosenberg, informed me that tree trimmers had cleared the lower branches of the large palms just outside the office door. In their zeal the workers had exposed a pair of BARN OWLS that were still clearly visible. Kara took me outside with a flash light and showed me the exact spot. Later, after the entire class had arrived we all marched out to the spot and found the male and female Owls were still perched in the lower branches. Beneath the trees there were also numerous pellets. The area is easy to find. Just outside the side entrance of the Adult School at Palo Alto High School, there is a soccer field and a fenced in area where there is some kind of construction. The three large palms are close together near this fenced in area. Of course, with the reduced cover, the Owls may be motivated to look for a new roost. Perhaps the school might do well to investigate an owl box. Matthew Dodder http://www.birdguy.net _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
