11. Looking through some Audubon materials recently

I found out that we are smack in the middle of burrow owl habitat. They seem to be little guys that are the color of the brown hills up here and live in abandoned squirrel nests. I don't know if that is who I hear in the early evening, though. My helper tells me he's seen a big one up on the power pole but I never have. And the orange backed hawk did turn out to be a red-tailed hawk. I wish I still had some binoculars because the birds are amazing right now. There's a quail family that I see on my way out nearly every morning, running around the northern stretch of the road where it crosses the creek. They look like a bunch of little wind-up toys.
