Overview

Burrowing Owls are lovable, cute, adorable, so cool - that's what people say when they see one. Berkeley's Cesar Chavez Park is one of the very few places on the West Coast where you have a chance to see a Burrowing Owl in an afternoon's walk. Most winter seasons, one or a few of these rare and endangered birds come and settle. This book is full of photos of the Burrowing Owls that have visited Chavez Park in recent years. The text provides a narrative and adds background drawn from the scholarly literature. Here are the chapters: A most lovable bird shows why we love them. Finding Them reports where and when we can find them. Taking Care answers what they eat, when they sleep. Friends covers their tight relationship with the squirrels. Foes exposes the dangers they face. The Bigger Picture zooms out to the larger world. The Appendix has a map, tables, translations, and notes.
