Question: Burrowing owls anywhere?

I received a telephone message yesterday evening from a local film maker. She wanted to know if burrowing owls were still in the area and where she could go to film them? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Hi Christine,

 

If you get any good replies I would appreciate it if you would forward them to me. I have unsuccessfully looked for burrowing owls at Big Johnson and Chico Ranch but I need some specificity so i can find them in these multi-thousand acre expances!

 

Thanks

Not too many Burrowing Owls around this time of year.  There was one at WCR 100/WCR 33 .25m E of intersection on WCR 100 on N.  Also, one at WCR 96/37 about .5m S on WCR 37 on W.  WCR=Weld CR

At DIA loop there are a few: 
BURROWING OWLS at the prairie dog town at 3.4 miles east of Tower Road & 96th avenue.
BURROWING OWLS (two) along Gun Club Road at 0.5 miles south of Colfax Avenue and (four) at the northeast corner of E470 & 6th Avenue.

I presume some still remain on the many Pawnee NG dog colony sites.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
