Long-eared Owl in Borrego

Ann Keenan found a Long-eared Owl at the state park visitor center in Borrego Springs this morning. It is skittish, unlike the breeding season birds that sometimes are at Tamarisk Grove, so if you are looking for it, please avoid approaching it too closely – we want it to stay put! Seen in the palo verde trees around the amphitheater. Bob Theriault, Borrego.
