This is the second year in a row I have seen BURROWING OWLS successfuly rear young right next to this trail, where everyone bikes and walks their dogs, rather than on the hillside which is closed to dogs and bikes during breeding season. Both young stared at me and my dog as we walked past, then again a half hour later as we returned. To locate them, park near the restrooms at Bixbee, then walk completely around the hillside (with the many decorative telephone poles) that is closed to bikes and dogs. (Or, hike over the hillside.) Once you pass the hillside and continue on the trail, there is a chain link fence on your right. Continue on the trail until you see two diagonal poles on the chain link fence that form an upside down "V". Look at the ground to the left, 6'-8' off the trail, a bit past the upside down "V", and you should see a BURROWING OWL nest.
