Description
When you think of owls, you may think of the nocturnal animal known for operating peacefully in a tree at night. But in this episode, Amazing Wildlife is exploring a special species, the burrowing owl that is active in the daytime and on the ground. Hosts Rick and Ebone dissect what makes these tiny birds so unique, what’s behind their declining numbers, and their connection to the decline in prairie dogs and ground squirrels. Colleen Wisinski, our Conservation Program Manager, later joins the show to share the current project in place to protect burrowing owls and the process of reintroducing the owls at the San Diego Zoo back into the wild.
