As one drives out of the lot and past the Palo Alto Duck Pond we have seen GREAT HORNED OWLS on several occasions. They sit on top of the light posts. Last night at 9:30 PM several of us had fantastic views of a hunting BARN OWL. This owl was sitting on the stop sign located at the intersection where Embarcadero Road ends at what used to be called Harbor Rd. (The Palo Alto Airport is on this corner) The owl moved to another post providing more great views. This bird soon flew away toward the airport. Embarcadero Road (as it enters the baylands) is closed to the public after dark, but I have seen owls on several occasions before you get to the locked gate. This is a rather remote place after dark. Personally, I would not go out there by myself. Police are often stopping by to make sure all is right with the world. But if you want to see an owl - I'd take a buddy with you, go after dark and check it out.
