We’ve heard from the City of Las Vegas; they have completed the artificial burrows, and are giving the Owls one year to move over to the new burrows before continuing on with their construction of the detention basin at Floyd Lamb Park. Kudos to the City of Las Vegas!
Thanks to volunteer participation we’ve collected cross street information to help us locate many Burrowing Owls. So far, we have location data for 141 possible burrows – with 111 Owls noted! Kudos go to the volunteers also – this is a wonderful amount of information!
To help ensure project success, the RRAS Burrowing Owl Project still needs more volunteers. If you would like to participate in this project by visiting these locations to gather GPS coordinates, or know the location of any Burrowing Owls, please contact Craig Felts.
The Boy Scouts in Henderson deserve a big thank you in advance! They will be helping to monitor the Burrowing Owls breeding season. Monitoring is set to begin in March 2008. If there are any other scouts or organizations that would like to help, please contact us.
