A rare burrowing owl spotted at Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley.
The burrowing owl population has been slowly declining in California, and particularly in the Bay Area, likely due to the impact of development. The owls that arrive here in October, when they arrive, probably come from Idaho and points north, where they breed in the summertime. They come here to escape the frigid northern winters. If they stay, they’ll rest up and build their strength and then migrate back north around March.
