A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
to
the
second
of
our
four-part
speaker
series
celebrating
the
40th
anniversary
of
Shoreline
at
Mountain,
View
opening
to
the
public
I'd
like
to
provide
a
few
thank
yous.
First
first,
we
want
to
thank
Michaels
for
hosting
us.
We
also
want
to
thank
kmvt
for
recording
and
helping
us
put
together
this
educational
series.
A
A
We
have
council
member
matacek
here
our
city
council
has
one
of
the
things
you'll
hear
recurring
through
the
speaker
series
is
the
foresight
that
a
lot
of
our
community
leaders,
city
leaders
have
had
in
their
thoughts
and
what
they've
done
with
Shoreline
everything
from
the
landfill,
the
infrastructure
having
a
full-time
biologist
on
staff.
There's
been
a
lot
of
really
really
smart,
forethought
put
into
making
Shoreline
be
as
great
as
it
is
today,
and
so
we're
very
thankful
for
the
council
members
for
the
community
leaders.
A
I
know
we
have
representatives
from
different
Community
groups
out
in
Mountain
View,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
A
So
Shoreline
at
Mountain
View
was
officially
open
to
the
public
on
July
17
1983,
so
we're
in
our
40th
anniversary.
It's
a
750
acre,
Wildlife,
Preserve
and
Recreation
area
that
is
built
over
critical
infrastructure.
A
The
first
Speaker
Ray
Rodriguez
provided
a
presentation
on
the
past
of
Shoreline
and
covered
a
lot
of
the
infrastructure
upon
which
Shoreline
is
built.
Today,
Phil
will
be
providing
a
presentation
on
the
present
Shoreline.
It's
a
wildlife
preserve
and
provide
a
critical
habitat.
Sorry,
a
wildlife
preserve
that
provides
critical
habitat
and
for
protected
species.
We'll
also
have
the
wildlife,
education
and
rehabilitation
center
here
with
live
rescued
animals,
so
that'll
be
a
cool
part
of
this
and
then
our
next
speaker
is
Raymond
Wong.
A
Who
will
be
talking
about
the
future
of
Shoreline
on
August
27th
in
regards
to
sea
level
rise,
and
then
we
will
culminate
our
four-part
series
with
the
past
present
and
future
of
Shoreline
in
October
on
October
15th,
with
a
panel
discussion
that
will
have
past
current
staff.
We'll
also
have
some
members
from
Community
organizations
there
that'll
kind
of
be
able
to
put
the
whole
thing
together
for
us
at
the
very
end,
so
it'll
be
really
cool
and
so
we're
excited
for
all
these
opportunities.
A
We're
excited
to
be
able
to
take
some
of
the
great
knowledge
we
have
institutional
Knowledge
from
our
different
staff
and
presenters
and
be
able
to
record
it
and
have
it
available
to
you
guys,
but
also
just
for
historical
knowledge
for
us,
because
I'm
fortunate
I
get
to
interact
with
all
these
speakers
every
day.
So
I
get
to
pick
their
brain
all
the
time
and
it's
important
that
we
get
to
share
that
with
the
community
as
well,
and
so
with
that
I'll
be
introducing
Phil.
A
So
Philip
Higgins
is
our
Wildlife
preservation
coordinator
City
biologist
in
Burien
owl
specialist.
He
has
a
Bachelor's
of
Science
in
Environmental
Studies,
with
a
minor
in
biological
science,
focusing
on
environmental
impact
analysis
like
the
NEPA
and
SQL
processes.
A
Phil
also
has
his
Masters
of
Science
in
Environmental
Studies,
focusing
on
Wildlife
Conservation,
where
his
thesis
focused
on
the
prey
base
of
Western
burrowing,
owls
I'm,
going
to
be
reading
a
lot,
because
there's
a
lot
here
for
Phil
has
spent
the
last
23
years,
conducting
research
and
pursuing
conservation
recovery
efforts
on
burrowing,
owls
and
other
species
such
as
black
skimmers,
congdantar,
plant
golden
eagles
harbor
seals,
white
face,
capuchin,
monkeys,
Whitetail,
Kites
and
monarch,
butterflies
and
so
perhaps
most
recognizable
to
the
city
of
Mountain.
A
View
spill
has
spent
much
of
that
23
years,
studying
monitoring
and
helping
burrowing
owls
through
that
he
has
been
involved
in
the
captive
breeding
program,
a
banding
and
monitoring
project,
Juvenile
overwintering
and
rewilding
project
and
then
a
bunch
of
habitat
management
efforts
throughout
Santa
Clara
County.
Through
this
work,
Phil
has
written.
Numerous
articles
he's
been
published
in
scientific
journals
and
he
also
serves
as
a
part-time
lecturer
at
local
colleges
and
universities.
A
A
We're
very
fortunate
that
we
have
someone
like
Phil
that
helps
us
keep
Shoreline
moving
forward,
but
also
keeping
all
the
wildlife
and
habitat
safe,
protected
and
in
a
good
standing,
and
so
it's
a
delicate
balance
out
here
and
we
couldn't
do
it
without
fill,
and
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
him
and
get
to
the
meat
and
potatoes
of
today.
So
thank
you.
Okay,
good.
B
Morning,
everybody
so
those
white
face,
capuchin
monkeys
was
in
Costa
Rica,
not
here
at
Shoreline,
just
just
to
be
clear,
so
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
species
that
we
have
here
at
Shoreline.
So
Brady
mentioned
that
we're
on
top
of
a
closed
landfill,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
related
to
that.
One
is
methane
leakage
and
also
is
a
leachate.
So
we
have
an
entire
team
of
technicians
who
monitor
that
methane
gas.
B
So
we're
very
fortunate
here
in
California
we're
one
of
34
biodiversity
hotspots
on
the
planet,
because
the
number
of
species
out
here
so
we
have
approximately
6
000
California
native
plants,
about
one-third
of
which
are
endemic
they're
found
nowhere
else
in
the
world,
except
here
in
California,
and
of
the
one
thousand
vertebrate
species
about
65
are
endemic
to
California
such
as
Thule
elk
and
for
those
plants.
We
have
a
rare
and
parallel
plant
here
called
congdon's
tarplant,
which
I'll
talk
about
a
little
later.
We
also
have
the
tallest
tree
in
the
world
joint
redwoods.
B
We
have
the
largest
tree
in
the
world
joint
Sequoias
and
one
of
the
oldest
living
trees
in
the
world,
knobcone
knobcan,
Pine
and
one
other
species
which
we
have,
which
is
very
unusual
here
in
Shoreline,
is
the
pygmy
blue
butterfly
so
supposedly
one
of
the
smallest
butterflies
in
the
world.
So
around
July
August.
You
can
actually
see
them
here
at
Shoreline.
They
live
along
the
edge
of
of
the
Bay.
B
So
why
is
there
so
much
biodiversity
here
in
California?
A
lot
of
that
is
to
do
with
geographical
isolation.
So
when
these
species
got
to
California
originally
some
of
them,
not
all
of
them,
they're
geographically
isolated.
We
have
the
Sierra
Nevada
over
here,
Pacific
Ocean
down
here,
deserts
down
here
and
up
north.
We
have
rainforest
now
tropical
rainforest,
but
some
of
these
species
evolved
into
unique
species.
Then,
along
with
our
microclimates,
if
you
think
about
it,
San
Francisco
is
not
too
far
away.
B
Yet
our
temperatures
and
our
rainfall
patterns
are
completely
different
to
where
weather
conditions
over
here
we
have
a
lot
of
various
soil
types
like
Serpentine
soil.
So
all
these
unique
features
have
given
us
a
diversity
of
plants
which
has
helped
with
our
diversity
of
animal
species
and
then
San
Francisco
Bay.
Some
of
you
may
have
driven
on
a
freeway
to
get
here
today
to
Shoreline.
Well,
birds
fly
on
flyways
and
we
have
four
flyaways
in
North
America,
so
we're
located
on
the
Pacific
Flyway.
B
B
So
historically
people
didn't
think
too
kindly
of
San
Francisco
Bay.
We've
done
a
lot
of
damage.
I
think
it's
about.
80
to
90
percent
of
the
Bay
has
been
destroyed
with
infill
draining
think
of
Foster
City,
and
then,
unfortunately,
we
put
all
these
landfills
right
at
the
edge
of
of
the
bay.
We
have
Palo
Alto,
Mountain,
View,
Muffet
field,
Alviso
Hayward.
B
All
these
landfills,
which
we
didn't
understand
the
importance
of
San
Francisco
Bay,
it's
a
great
breeding
location
for
fish.
It
provides
a
lot
of
nutrients
control
of
climate
purification
of
water
and
also
air
production.
So
you
have
up
to
1
million
water.
Birds
are
migrating
through
this
small
little
area
every
year,
it's
actually
the
largest
Wetland
on
the
west
coast
of
the
United
States,
but
technically
it's
actually
an
estuary,
not
a
bay
and
then
Shoreline
Park.
Despite
the
fact
only
750
acres
and
we
are
on
top
of
a
closed
landfill.
B
We
do
have
a
lot
of
diversity
out
here.
So
two
very
unusual
species
we
have
is
the
salt
marsh
harvest
mouse
this
little
guy
here
and
ridgewise
rail.
Both
of
them
are
only
endemic
the
San
Francisco
Bay.
So
if
you're
an
endemic
species-
and
you
live
in
a
very
restricted
area,
if
anything
happens
to
that
area,
you're
very
prone
to
a
decrease
in
numbers
so
because
we've
destroyed
a
lot
of
the
bay,
both
these
species
are
listed
as
endangered
and
both
of
them
are
here
at
Shoreline.
B
B
So,
according
to
the
California
Department
of
Fish
and
Wildlife,
the
state
of
California
has
more
diversity
than
any
other
state
in
the
United
States
and
San
Francisco
Bay,
there's
about
97
special
status,
Wildlife
species,
just
in
a
small
little
area,
which
really
emphasizes
the
importance
of
San
Francisco
Bay
I'm.
Here
at
Shoreline
we
have
30
protective
species,
bird
species,
three
mammal
species,
one
reptile
and
one
plant
species.
These
are
only
protective
species.
We
have
a
huge
amount
of
species
Beyond
these
individuals.
B
So
why
do
we
have
so
much
diversity
here
at
Shoreline?
If
you
look
at
our
location
right
at
the
edge
of
the
bay,
we
have
a
diversity
of
ecosystems
So
within
Shoreline.
We
have
the
irrigated
grasslands
on
the
golf
course,
a
freshwater
Reservoir.
With
all
these
non-irrigated
grasslands,
we
have
two
Creeks
Stevens
Creek
Permanente
Creek.
We
have
a
title
Mudflats,
so
the
diversity
of
ecosystems
increases
the
diversity
of
species
found
in
this
area.
B
So
one
area
up
the
top
here
we
have
Charleston
Slough,
so
that's
a
restoration
project
as
part
of
our
mitigation
for
that
restoration.
We're
required
to
do
four
bird
surveys
per
year
when
a
low
tide,
when
a
high
tide
four
times
per
year
in
Spring
and
fall
when
birds
are
migrating.
True,
we've
observed
just
in
one
survey
over
twenty
seven
thousand
individual
birds
representing
43
different
species.
B
So
if
you're
ever
into
birding,
especially
at
low
tide
in
Spring
and
fall,
it's
a
great
location
to
see
a
lot
of
these
waterfowl
and
Shorebirds
down
here
a
shorebird
way.
We
have
the
largest
egress
Rookery
in
the
South
San
Francisco
Bay.
We
have
over
100
nests
of
great
egrets,
Snowy
egrets
and
black
ground
night
herons,
it's
a
very
urban
area.
If
you've
ever
been
down
there
and
every
year
we
close
the
road
down
during
the
nesting
season
to
protect
a
lot
of
those
birds.
B
I
was
there
last
week
and
it's
a
strange
year
this
year,
normally
the
Black
Crown
Night
heroines
come
in
first,
followed
by
the
egrets
this
year.
All
three
species
are
there
together
and
there
are
only
four
breeding
Burling.
All
locations
left
in
Santa
Clara
County,
where
actually
one
of
those
breeding
locations
more
common
species
out
here
we're
going
to
start
with
gray,
fox
or
our
native
folks.
B
These
are
actually
quite
small
individuals,
not
much
bigger
than
a
cat
they're
very
unusual,
because
they're
the
best
climbing
Canaan
canine
in
the
world
under
opportunistic
and
generalists
when
it
comes
to
their
diet
and
they
eat
a
lot
of
berries,
a
lot
of
fruit,
eggs
and
also
rodents,
and
very
docile,
very
shy.
Animals
I've
actually
seen
a
jackrabbit
Chase.
These
guys
away,
they're,
actually
that
small,
but
they're
great
at
climbing
trees.
B
So
two
order
species
we
have
is
jackrabbits
and
brush
rabbits,
so
jock
rabbits,
you
have
a
great
adaptation
for
survival
in
very,
very
hot
areas,
they're
very,
very
large
ears,
so
during
the
daytime
they
actually
huddle
down
in
the
ground
and
fold
their
ears
back
to
camouflage
them
in.
Although
they
have
good
hearing
the
ears
are
very
good
for
dissipating
heat.
You
can
actually
see
very
little
fur
on
the
ears
and
those
veins
dissipate
the
heat.
B
Like
elephants,
you
often
see
elephants
waving
their
ears,
they're,
not
listening,
they're,
actually
dissipating
heat,
so
two
species
which
are
very
prominent
out
here,
California
ground
squirrels.
These
are
known
as
a
keystone
species.
So
if
you
think
of
the
old
Roman
archways,
the
main
Stone
over
the
archway
is
known
as
a
keystone.
B
If
you
remove
that
Keystone,
the
archway
will
collapse
so
ground
squirrels
play
such
a
pivotal
role
in
the
environment,
they're
also
known
as
keystone
species,
so
all
that
burrowing
that
they
do
aerates
the
soil
they
bring
in
Bedding
material,
which
decomposes
adds
nutrients
to
the
ground.
We've
seen
a
lot
of
other
species
living
in
the
same
Burrows
with
the
ground,
squirrels,
rodents,
reptiles,
amphibians,
invertebrates
and
also
many
species,
including
protective
species,
are
dependent
on
those
groundsworld
burrows
for
survival.
B
These
two
guys
are
very
well
adopted
to
Urban
environments,
skunks
and
raccoons.
Their
populations
are
doing
very,
very
well
because
we're
able
to
co-habituate
with
people
interesting
thing
about
raccoons,
not
all
of
them,
but
most
of
them.
When
you
have
food,
they
bring
it
to
water.
Dark
finger
is
actually
very
dexterous
like
ours
and
they
actually
clean
the
food
items
before
they
actually
eat
them.
B
So
Birds
of
Prey
golden
eagles
there's
actually
a
golden
eagle
nest
in
our
viso
in
a
palm
tree,
and
these
birds
they're
the
individuals
that
forage
here
at
Shoreline
at
least.
We
believe,
because
their
range
is
about
50
square
miles,
so
that
golden
eagle
nest
in
aviso
is
the
first
golden
eagle
nest
in
the
valley
floor
of
Santa
Clara
in
128
years.
It's
also
the
first
golden
eagle
nest
that
we
know
of
in
a
palm
tree.
Typically,
they
nest
on
cliffs
are
very,
very
large
trees.
B
We
also
have
a
bald
eagle
nest
in
Milpitas
and
they
actually
last
five
years,
they've
been
very
common
here
at
Shoreline.
Some
other
species
I
have
bred
out
here,
is
Northern
harriers,
red
tail
hawks
and
also
American
castrols,
so
work
today
is
actually
going
to
bring
in
a
red-tailed
hawk
and
an
American
casserole,
a
burrowing
owl
and
a
turkey
vulture.
For
you
to
see.
B
So
I
mentioned
those
Whitetail
kites.
If
you
ever
get
an
opportunity,
go
onto
Google
and
look
at
some
other
photographs
of
whitetail
kites.
Their
eyes
are
actually
red,
so
they're
a
state
fully
protected
species,
so
they've
been
breeding
out
in
this
area
for
many
years
and
three
of
those
years,
they've
read
here
at
Shoreline
Park,
so
you
have
a
very
unusual
behavior
when
it
comes
to
feeding
the
adults
and
also
feeding
the
young,
they
do
an
exchange
of
food
mid-air.
So
here
we
have
an
adult
and
a
feeding
a
juvenile
here
at
Shoreline.
B
This
little
guy
I
don't
know
how
I
got
its
name
Kildeer
because
running
about
that
size,
I,
don't
think
they
could
do
any
harm
to
a
deer
at
all.
But
the
reason
I'm
showing
these
Birds
is
they
nest,
they're
ground
nesting
birds
and
they
nest
in
Gravelly
areas.
Unfortunately,
it's
usually
the
edges
of
trails
or
in
Sandy
areas.
So
one
big
problem
is
it's
very
difficult
to
see
the
eggs.
B
So
I
mean
this
picture
is
enlarged,
but
you
can
see
the
eggs
are
very,
very
well
camouflaged
with
the
soil
and
you
can
see
a
little
Kildeer
chicken
here,
but
you
have
a
very
unusual
behavior,
because
they're
nesting
Birds
they're
very
prone
to
predation
by
any
animal
that
comes
along.
So
if
a
predator
comes
along,
the
adult
will
fly
over
towards
the
Predator
it'll
drag
its
wing
along
the
ground
and
make
a
squawking
noise.
It's
pretending
that
it's
injured,
because
remember
predators
are
going
to
go
after
the
sick,
the
old
or
the
injured.
B
So
they
think
this
bird
here
making
this
squawking
noise
is
an
easy
item
to
kill
to
head
over
towards
the
adult
it'll
fly
away,
and
hopefully
it
won't
be
able
to
find
the
eggs
and
the
chicks.
So
we
often
have
problems
when
we're
trying
to
find
a
the
eggs.
We
can
hear
the
adult.
We
can
see
the
adults
dragging
the
wing.
We
have
to
walk
up
and
down
about
10
to
20
times
before
we
actually
find
the
nest,
they're
really
well
camouflaged
and
when
they
hatch
they
can
walk
within
a
few
hours.
B
So
they'll
actually
leave
the
Egg
The
Nest
alone,
so
some
other
birds
I,
mentioned
endemic
species.
Here's
another
endemic
species-
that's
found
here
as
Shoreline
the
San
Francisco
common,
yellow
throat.
This
is
the
male,
a
very
vibrant
color,
so
we
have
them
nesting
out
in
the
say,
the
shoreline
Pond.
Here
we
have
them
along
the
Creeks
very
vividly
color
colored
bird
Orioles.
We
have
two
species
out
here.
These
are
migratory
Birds,
hooded,
Orioles
and
Bullocks
Orioles,
very
vibrant
coloration,
and
this
one
I
like
this
bird.
This
is
the
male
Ruddy
Duck.
B
So
it
has
a
very
unique,
distinctive
blue
beak,
but
only
during
the
breeding
season
outside
the
breeding
season
that
blue
coloration
disappears
and
a
couple
years
ago
we
had
a
big
sensation
with
this
bird
at
the
top
left-hand
Corner,
a
red
Bishop
they're,
not
native
to
California
they're,
actually
from
from
sub-Saharan
Africa
they're
related
to
Weaver
birds.
So
when
a
pair
came
out
here
we
had
loads
of
photographers
and
birders
trying
to
get
a
photograph
for
them.
B
B
So
invertebrates,
not
everybody's
favorite
species
in
general,
but
these
are
very,
very
important
to
the
ecosystem
after
plants.
Invertebrates
are
very,
very
important
for
the
role
that
they
play
in
the
environment
for
food.
Many
birds
eat
them.
Even
hummingbirds,
most
people
associate
hummingbirds
with
flowers.
The
nectar
that
they
get
from
the
flowers
is
not
a
high
protein
Source.
They
don't
feed
nectar
to
the
young.
B
So
it
really
is
important
to
plant
native
plants
to
benefit
a
lot
of
these
species.
We
have
praying
mantises
out
here
and
one
very
unusual
species
is
a
tarantula
hawk
wasp.
So
it's
a
nectar,
eater,
but
then
again,
nectar
doesn't
have
a
high
source
of
protein.
So
when
it
comes
to
the
breeding
season,
the
female
tarantula
hawk
finds
a
big
spider,
usually
a
tarantula.
B
She
paralyzes
it
with
her
sting
drags
it
into
a
burrow.
Remember
the
spider
is
still
alive
at
this
time.
It's
just
paralyzed
Then
She
lays
her
egg
into
the
abdomen
of
the
spider.
So
when
the
spot,
when
the
baby
hatches,
it
has
a
fresh
piece
of
meat
to
eat
for
a
while,
it
doesn't
eat
the
brains
or
the
heart,
it
leaves
them
till
the
end
eats
the
rest
of
the
body.
First.
B
Invertebrates
in
general
are
very,
very
interesting
and
are
very,
very
important
to
the
ecosystem,
so
the
Flora
the
plants
out
here,
we
don't
have
originally
have
a
lot
of
natives
out
here,
because
we
are
on
top
of
a
closed
line
fill,
but
these
four
species
are
native
to
this
area
that
we
didn't
plant.
We
are
doing
a
big
program
out
here,
a
shoreline
thanks
to
city
council,
and
there
are
priority
of
biodiversity,
we're
planting
a
lot
of
natives
out
here,
but
these
four
species
here
are
native
on
their
own
up.
B
The
top
left-hand
corner
is
congdon's
tar
plant
it's
listed
as
a
rare
Empire
imperiled
plant.
Originally
it
was
only
found
in
nine
counties
in
the
Bay
Area,
it's
extirpated
or
locally
extinct
from
tree
those
counties
already.
So
we
have
a
big
program
here,
a
shoreline
to
save
this
plant.
We've
made
some
mitigation
areas,
we've
hired
companies
to
propagate
the
seed.
B
We've
planted
some
seeds
ourselves,
so
the
population
has
gone
from
a
few
hundred
up
to
a
few
thousand
just
in
the
space
of
a
couple
of
years,
and
some
other
natives
in
springtime
you'll
see
fiddle
neck
Hayfield
taraweed,
although
I
haven't
seen
any
this
year
and
salt
heliotrope.
This
is
a
great
plant
for
attracting
butterflies
and
bees.
B
Reptiles
were
just
had
a
conversation
earlier
on
today
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
snakes
out
here.
The
only
two
species
we've
ever
seen
is
gopher
snakes
and
garter
snakes.
Another
species
that
people
in
general
don't
appreciate,
but
the
role
they
play
in
Pest
Control
is
very,
very
important,
especially
with
the
gopher
snakes
Western
Pond
Turtle
listed
as
a
species
of
special
concern.
B
We
have
at
least
one
of
them
out
here
and
Western
Fence
lizards
I
was
reading
a
study
there
recently
about
Western,
Fence,
lizards,
so
they're
often
called
blue
belly
lizards
and
people,
often
seeing
them
pushing
like
doing
push-ups
they're
not
trying
to.
They
are
impressing
the
ladies,
not
with
their
muscles
but
they're,
trying
to
expose
the
blue
coloration,
but
you've
probably
heard
of
Lyme
disease
Lyme
disease
can
do
a
lot
of
impact
to
people
spread
by
ticks.
B
So
some
studies
are
showing
that
ticks
that
live
off
the
blood
of
Western
Fence
lizards
are
less
likely
to
spread
Lyme
disease
so
again
the
importance
of
biodiversity.
Why?
We
should
have
all
these
different
species
out
here
and
just
in
general,
these
ecosystems
are
very
complex.
We
don't
understand
a
lot
of
the
interactions
among
all
these
species,
especially
when
it
comes
to
micro,
invertebrates
in
the
ground.
There's
a
lot
of
species
there
that
we
don't
know
what
role
they're
playing
but
really
is
important
to
save
biodiversity.
B
So
speaking
of
saving
biodiversity
I'm
going
to
go
through
some
of
the
projects
that
we're
implementing
here
at
Shoreline,
so
one
of
the
ones
I've
been
very
involved
with
is
the
Western
burrowing
owl.
So
there
are
approximately
140
different
species
of
vowels
in
the
world,
and
burrowing
owls
are
unique
for
several
reasons.
One
of
them
is
it's
the
only
island
in
the
world
that
lives
in
a
Borough
in
the
ground,
but
despite
the
fact
that
the
borough
plays
a
pivotal
role,
the
owl
doesn't
dig
the
borough
in
general.
B
Usually
it's
fossil
oral
mammals
such
as
California,
ground
squirrels
in
this
area
and
prairie
dogs
in
other
parts
of
its
range.
So
the
Western
borrowing
I
was
only
found
west
of
the
Mississippi
River
into
Southern
Canada
and
Northern
Mexico,
there's
also
a
Florida
burning
out.
There
are
the
only
two
species
in
North
America,
there's
up
to
16,
maybe
18
subspecies.
Throughout
the
Americas,
all
the
ways
down
to
Tierra
del
Fuego
in
in
a
Chile
another
unique
species
about
burrowing
owls
is
the
babies
can
mimic
the
sound
of
a
rattlesnake.
B
If
you
actually
approach
the
borough,
where
the
babies
are
they'll,
mimic
the
sound
of
rattlesnake
to
scare
off
off
Predators
they'll
bring
during
the
breeding
season,
some
individuals,
not
all
of
them,
or
bring
decoration
to
the
borough
entrance
and
I've
found
like
natural
things
like
animal
poop
and
believe
they
bring
cow
dung
or
even
horse
manure
over
to
the
borough
to
attract
insects
which
they
eat.
B
Another
thing
is:
maybe
the
smell
of
dung
discourages
Predators
from
digging
up
the
Burrows,
so
Badgers
and
foxes
and
coyotes
can
dig
up
the
Burrows,
so
maybe
if
they
smell,
but
the
main
reason
they
think
they
bring.
The
decoration
over
is
so
one
male
tells
another
male
that
this
borough
is
occupied.
So
you
bring
a
lot
of
natural
things
over
sticks,
grass
and
animal
poop,
but
also
a
lot
of
human
items
as
well.
Unfortunately,
during
covet
I
found
face,
masks,
I
found
sandwiches
cigarette
butts
bits
of
plastic
bits
of
clothing
and
I.
Remember.
B
It
was
a
pair
of
birming
owls
at
Mission
College,
who
had
three
pairs
of
women's
tights
at
the
borough
entrance
where
they
got
them
from
and
what
they
were
doing
with
them.
I
don't
really
know
what
what
I
hate
to
think,
what
you're
doing,
but
they're
only
about
nine
inches
tall
and
weigh
about
a
quarter
of
a
pound
they're,
both
diurnal
and
nocturnal.
So
during
the
daytime,
they
just
sit
at
the
borough
entrance
looking
for
Predators.
B
If
the
vegetation
grows
taller
than
them
remember,
they're,
only
nine
inches
tall
they'll
actually
abandon
the
burrow
unless
you
have
chicks
present,
and
so
we
do
a
lot
of
management
out
here
to
for
the
birming
house
to
keep
the
vegetation
short.
So
a
lot
of
people
ask
well
how
did
they
survive
before
people
came
along?
Most
of
the
grasses
in
this
area
are
non-native
grasses.
There
are
a
lot
of
annuals
originally
from
Europe.
They
grow
very,
very
tall
produce
a
lot
of
seeds.
They've
out
competed
our
native
grasses,
which
in
general
were
Bunch.
B
So,
what's
in
the
1980s
was
about
500
borrowing,
owls
at
250
locations
in
Santa,
Clara
County.
During
the
22
2022
breeding
season,
we've
gone
from
500
birming
house
down
to
33
in
the
entire
County,
and
we've
gone
from
250
locations
down
to
just
four
locations.
Those
four
locations
are
Shoreline:
Moffett,
Airfield,
San,
Jose,
International,
Airport
and
alvizo.
B
The
problem
with
the
San
Jose
Airport
on
Moffett
Airfield.
The
FAA
does
not
want
birds
in
general
at
airports
because
of
potential
collisions
with
aircraft
both
of
those
sites
historically
had
between
60
and
80
burrowing
owls.
This
year,
San
Jose
airport
is
reporting
no
bearing
hours
for
the
first
time
ever.
A
Moffett
Airfield
only
has
two
males,
so
they're
not
going
to
produce
chicks
this
year
at
all.
So
lots
of
habitat
is
a
big
problem,
especially
with
the
price
of
grasslands.
B
Nowadays,
it's
Prime
land
to
be
turned
into
development,
or
even
agricultural
use
Predators,
especially
in
urban
areas.
Remember
all
these
owls
are
found
in
highly
urban
areas.
Cats,
dogs,
skunks,
snakes,
Hawks
Eagles
all
prey
on
them:
loss
of
fossorial
mammals.
So,
despite
the
fact
that
California
ground
squirrels
are
considered
a
keystone
species,
they're
also
considered
a
pest
species
because
of
that
burrowing
that
they
do
so.
B
Some
organizations
eradicate
them.
If
you
eradicate
the
ground,
squirrels
birming
owls
are
also
going
to
decline.
Low
quality
prey
a
lot
of
these
urban
areas.
B
If
you
look
at
Google
Maps,
there's
very
few
grasslands
left
in
Santa,
Clara
County,
so
we're
forcing
all
of
these
other
species
golden
eagles.
The
bald
eagles.
All
these
Hawks
foxes
Badgers
all
to
compete
against
each
other
in
fewer
and
smaller
areas.
So
burning
owls
only
hunt,
one
prey
item
at
a
time
and
they
can
have
up
to
12
babies,
so
I
actually
done
my
Theses
on
the
prey
base
of
burrowing
owls
and
the
number
one
species
that
are
capturing
in
Santa
Clara
county
is
earwigs
and
earwig
is
that
size?
B
If
you
have
10
babies
to
feed
and
you're
bringing
back
earwigs
to
feed
your
babies,
most
of
them
are
going
to
die
off.
Unfortunately,
in
braiding
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
slide,
they
only
live
between
three
and
five
years,
so
whoever's
there
and
you
breed
one
year
after
birth,
so
whoever's
there,
whether
it's
your
sibling
or
your
parents,
you
breed
with
them
and
with
these
small
populations
of
just
three
four
five
or
six
Birds
inbreeding
is
a
big
problem
and
then
disturbance
is
also
a
big
issue.
B
B
So
I
mentioned
inbreeding,
so
here's
three
burrowing
out
chicks
are
born
in
2022.
Okay,
this
is
their
paternal
genetic
line
and
this
is
their
maternal
genetic
line.
Okay,
so
this
female
here
they're
the
same
female
and
this
male
is
the
same
female.
They
had
Young,
they
got
together.
So
that
means
these
are
cousins
over
here
and
over
here.
This
female
had
one
male
offspring.
She
got
together
with
her
her
male
offspring
the
following
year,
so
you
have
inbreeding,
then
those
two
individuals
are
over
on
both
sides
of
the
the
the
population.
B
So
inbreeding
is
a
big
issue
which
can
lead
to
a
lot
of
problems,
loss
of
genetic
variability
and
also
low
reproductive
success.
B
So
what
are
we
doing
here
at
Shoreline?
So
Brady
mentioned
that
the
city
council
in
Mountain
View
is
very,
very
active
when
it
comes
to
biodiversity
and
increasing
biodiversity,
not
just
here
at
Shoreline
Park,
but
actually
throughout
the
city.
So
the
city
is
actually
working
on
the
biodiversity
plan
for
the
entire
city,
but
we
have
two
main
major
plans
here
at
Shoreline.
B
One
is
our
burrowing
out
preservation
plan
so
to
reduce
the
population
and
actually
start
increasing
the
population
of
burrowing
owls
city
of
Mountain
View
created
a
burrowing
out
preservation
plan,
so
there's
three
population
goals
for
the
birthing
else
and
three
habitat
goals.
The
three
population
goals
is
to
get
at
least
10
pairs
of
breeding
breeding
owls.
We
think,
based
on
the
amount
of
habitat
we
have
out
here,
we
should
be
able
to
support
10
pairs
of
burning
owls
goal.
B
Number
two
is
to
have
75
percent
of
the
pairs
produced
young
and
goal
number
three
is
for
each
pair
to
have
at
least
three
young,
so
you're,
replacing
the
adults
and
having
an
increase
of
one
individual.
Three
habitat
goals
is
to
manage
as
much
of
Shoreline
for
burrowing,
owls
short
vegetation
longer
vegetation
for
prey
species,
habitat
goal
number
two
is
to
have
a
ground
healthy
grounds,
grow
population
throughout
the
park.
Remember
more
ground
squirrels,
don't
just
provide
the
Burrows
some
of
the
prey
items
that
the
Aussie
are
also
found
in
the
ground.
B
Squirrel
boroughs
and
a
very
interesting
study
was
done
by
one
of
my
students
at
Moffett
Airfield.
She
put
Lisa
Henderson.
She
put
cameras
down
at
the
burrowing
out
Burrows
to
determine
if
ground
squirrels
are
burrowing
owls
who
share
the
same
Predators,
which
individual
or
which
species
observes
the
Predator
first
and
actually
the
ground
squirrels
in
general,
observe
the
Predator.
They
gave
a
warning
call
which
the
birming
owls
also
recognize
and
go
underground,
and
then
the
last
part
of
the
habitat
goals
was
to
create
a
burring
out
preserve.
B
So
these
are
areas
in
red
are
burning
out
preserves.
It
doesn't
mean
that
all
the
owls
are
found
in
those
areas.
It
means
they're
areas
that
were
specifically
enhancing
to
increase
the
burning
owl
population,
so
some
conservation
things
that
we're
doing
so
I
mentioned
that
birminghams
live
in
ground
squirrel
boroughs
they'll
also
live
in
artificial
boroughs
and
we've
been
very,
very
successful
with
them
for
the
past
five
or
six
years
about
90
percent
of
all
the
breeding
success
has
occurred
in
artificial
Burrows.
B
Just
photograph
up
here
shows
an
example
of
an
artificial
Borough,
so
we're
using
Flex
drain
pipe
and
that's
about
six
to
ten
feet.
Long
at
the
end
of
that
is
an
irrigation
valve
box.
So
these
have
been
very,
very
beneficial
because
sometimes,
when
a
vehicle
or
tractor
drives
over
the
ground,
it
can
cause
the
collapse
of
a
ground
squirrel
burrow.
These
are
more
robust.
B
Another
important
conservation
issue
with
the
artificial
Burrows
is
we've
seen
the
native
red
fox
dig
up
Burrows
here
at
Shoreline,
ground
squirrel
boroughs
they're
not
able
to
get
into
the
artificial
boroughs,
at
least
not
yet
touchwood,
and
it
will
dig
up
along
the
pipes,
but
it
can
actually
get
inside
the
pipe.
So
we've
been
very
successful
with
them
and
I
mentioned
about
the
prey
items.
So
we
need
to
have
short
vegetation
for
burrowing
owls
less
than
two
to
four
inches
tall,
but
that's
very
good
for
the
breeding
burring
owls.
B
It's
not
good
for
their
prey,
so
their
prey
includes
invertebrates
such
as
earwigs,
grasshoppers,
crickets
and
beetles,
and
then
rodents
such
as
gophers
and
mice
and
voles,
but
they
prefer
the
taller
vegetation.
So
what
we
do
in
some
of
the
areas
we're
planting
native
plants,
low
growing
NATO
plants
that
provide
cover
for
the
rodents
I
see
some
of
the
volunteers
are
here
today,
which
I
really
appreciate.
We
wouldn't
get
most
of
these
projects
done.
B
If
it
wasn't
for
volunteers
and
we've,
we
have
a
very
active
volunteer
group
from
Mountain
View
that
helps
us
with
the
planting
of
these
Natives
and
this
this
year
they
actually
planted
their
own
milkweeds,
which
thank
you
very
much
for
doing
that.
So
these
plants
not
only
provide
cover,
they
also
provide
nectar,
seeds
and
berries
for
those
rodents.
B
So
we
have
some
prime
nesting
areas
and
they're
surrounded
by
these
native
plants
to
increase
the
prey
base,
then
we're
doing
some
more
active
conservation
work
so
over
here
we
capture
the
yellows
every
year
and
we
put
bands
on
them.
That's
how
we
learned
about
the
inbreding
so
from
the
banding
we've
learned
how
long
they
live,
which
individuals
are
pairing
up.
We
concede
our
movements
from
one
location
to
another
location
and
then
to
to
overcome
the
inbreeding
and
the
loss
of
genetic
diversity.
B
We've
started
a
new
program
called
the
juvenile
overwintering
program,
so
at
the
end
of
the
breeding
season
we
take
some
of
the
juveniles
into
captivity.
So,
first
we're
reducing
mortality
rates
that
are
sent
up
to
the
peninsula
Humane
Society
in
Burlingame,
where
they
get
a
Veterinary
checkup.
Then
they
take
blood
from
them.
Those
blood
samples
are
sent
to
the
University
of
Colorado,
where
they
do
genetic
testing
on
them
and
the
following
year.
They
tell
us
Paradise
melop
with
this
particular
female
here
to
increase
genetic
diversity.
B
Then
we
bring
them
out
to
Shoreline
and
other
locations
the
following
year.
We
put
them
in
these
enclosures
and
until
they
lay
the
eggs,
the
many
eggs
are
laid
and
the
chicks
have
hatched
we
take
the
enclosures
off.
This
is
called
Head,
starting
we're
trying
to
increase
genetic
diversity
and
reduce
predation
rates
on
the
borrowing
house
as
well.
B
We've
been
very
successful
with
that
so
and
then
this
year,
not
only
did
we
do
with
our
Shoreline
we're
after
releasing
two
colonies
down
in
Coyote
Valley,
because
those
four
locations
I
mentioned
San
Jose
are
part
of
Muppet,
Airfield,
Shoreline
and
avizo
they're,
all
very,
very
Urban.
Those
areas
can
only
support
a
certain
amount
of
birthing
else,
because
they're
surrounded
by
development,
Dana
Coyote
Valley
give
huge
tracks
of
open
space.
So
we're
trying
to
get
populations
re-established,
they
were
historically
down
there,
they've
all
been
removed
for
one
reason
or
another.
B
Another
interesting
species
we
have
out
here
is
called
black
skimmers.
So
if
you
look
at
the
lower
mandible
or
the
lower
part
of
the
beak,
it's
much
longer
than
the
upper
mandible
and
they're
called
black
skimmers
because
they
fly
over
the
water
surface
and
they're
skimming
the
surface,
so
the
beak
the
lower
mandible
is
in
the
water.
The
upper
mandible
is
just
above
the
water,
so
if
they
touch
a
fish,
they
close
the
beak
and
then
they
have
dinner
to
feed
their
chicks.
B
So
in
2014
they
arrived
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge
at
Shoreline
and
they
start
nesting
in
the
island
in
the
sailing
lake.
So
that's
sailing
Lake.
Some
areas
are
flat.
Some
areas
are
hilly,
so
you
don't
make
a
nest
per
se.
You
just
make
a
little
Hollow
in
the
ground
and
the
problem
is
to
kept
choosing
the
hilly
part
of
the
Island
and
the
eggs
cap
rolling
into
the
the
lake
into
the
lake.
So
what
we've
done
built
a
simple
little
wooden
frame
filled
it
with
sand.
B
We
went
from
one
pair
to
52
pairs
in
about
five
to
six
years,
so
you
can
hear
you
can
see
some
of
the
chicks
here
and
there's
a
chick
there's
camouflaged
and
because,
if
Predators
come
along,
they
prefer
to
have
Sandy
or
Gravelly
areas,
so
predators
can't
observe
them
so
very,
very
simple
way.
We
also
do
a
lot
of
habitat
Management
on
the
island,
so
simple
way
to
increase
the
population
just
by
giving
them
the
ecological
requirements
that
they
require.
B
A
couple
of
years
ago,
we
got
funding
by
Santa
Clara
Valley
Water,
which
is
now
known
as
value
water
and
along
Permanente
Creek.
We
just
picked
a
small
little
area
and
we
worked
with
Santa
Clara,
Valley,
Audubon,
Society
and
Grassroots
ecology,
so
Grassroots
ecology
collected
the
seeds
of
local
native
plants
within
that
particular
Watershed.
They
germinated
them.
We
brought
them
out
to
Shoreline
over
a
three-year
period.
We
planted
just
over
1
000
plants,
30
different
species.
B
At
the
end
of
those
three
years
in
the
small
little
area
we
counted
over
150
species,
90,
invertebrates,
46,
Birds,
two
reptiles,
two
amphibians
and
10
mammals,
all
in
this
small
little
area.
So
we've
done
surveys
before
we
done
the
restoration
and
surveys
after
the
restoration
we
had
well
over
100
increase
in
Native
species.
It
just
goes
to
show
you
the
importance
of
a
lot
of
these
native
species,
especially
local
species.
They
evolved
were
a
local
climate.
B
They
evolved
where
our
local
animals,
and
they
also
evolved
for
a
local
soil
and
also
very
important,
is
for
migratory
species.
Some
hummingbirds
migrate
3000
miles
per
year.
If
a
hummingbird
doesn't
eat
we're
in
a
five
hour
period,
it
can
actually
die.
So
when
they're
migrating,
it's
very,
very
important
to
have
the
foods
that
they
co-evolved
with
over
the
years
in
spring,
when
they're
migrating
up
north
and
fall
when
they're
coming
back
so
planting.
These
natives
is
really
beneficial
in
just
a
small
area
like
this.
B
We
actually
have
to
bring
in
an
entomologist
a
specialist
in
invertebrates
to
help
us
identify
the
species
and
then
a
one
hour
period,
She,
actually
counted
70
different
invertebrates
in
just
one
hour
just
goes
to
show
the
importance
of
these
restoration
projects,
monarch
butterfly
project,
so
Emer
signed
up
for
the
National
Wildlife
federations
pledge
and
Google
gave
us
a
three-year
funding
for
a
monarch,
butterfly
project.
So
there
are
two
parts
of
this
project
we're
in
our
second
year.
B
At
the
moment,
one
is:
we've
planned:
50,
pollinator
flowers
for
the
adults,
the
other
part
of
the
project
is
50
milkweeds,
so
monarchs
only
have
one
larval
food,
which
is
actually
milkweeds.
There
are
different
types
of
milkweeds.
Our
local
milkweed
in
this
area
is
narrow,
Leaf,
milkweed
and
I
mentioned
already
some
of
the
volunteers.
Here
in
the
second
row
they
actually
grew
some
of
those
milkweeds
at
home
and
planted
them
out
here
at
Shoreline,
because
last
year
we
tried
to
go
to
the
nurseries.
B
Now
everybody
wants
to
help
monarch
butterflies,
it's
very
difficult
to
find
milkweeds
and
some
of
the
nurseries,
which
is
a
good
clean
to
have
and
so
to
prepare
the
site.
We
don't
sheet
mulching,
we
mowed
the
area,
put
down
recyclable,
cardboard
and
put
wood
chips
which
we
got
from
our
Forestry
Department,
so
we're
taking
waste
products
and
we're
using
them
again,
and
then
we
planted
all
these
native
plants
and
we
actually
got
listed
as
a
monarch,
Way
Station.
B
So
the
first
year
we
planted
the
milkweeds,
we
saw
a
huge
increase
in
monarchs
and
actually
the
volunteers
were
right
there.
Last
week
we
actually
saw
Monarch
Lane
eggs
and
here's
one
of
our
caterpillars
out
there,
okay,
so
very,
very
promising
project.
So
monarchs
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
too
much
about
monarchs,
they
overwinter
along
the
coast
of
California
and
then
in
February.
They
start
heading
north
towards
Canada,
so
that
generation
they
mate,
lay
eggs.
B
Then
they
die
off
those
eggs,
hatch
turn
into
caterpillars
pupate
turn
into
monarchs
start
migrating
North
again
they
mate
the
eggs
die
off
by
the
time
they
reach
Canada,
that's
five
generations
from
the
time
they
left
California.
So
it's
last
that
fifth
generation
I,
don't
know
how
they
do
it,
but
they
fly
all
the
ways
back
to
California.
They
live
for
about
six
months.
So
you
ever
get
the
opportunity
from
October
November
to
about
February.
B
You
can
go
to
Natural
Bridges,
State,
Beach
Lighthouse
park
or
Pacific
Grove
to
see
those
overwintering,
butterflies
and
last
couple
of
years
the
population
has
dropped
from
Millions
to
2
000
in
2020,
okay,
it
rebounded
again,
but
there's
a
big
effort
now
to
start
increasing
their
population
and
just
planting
small
areas.
Here
at
Shoreline,
we've
seen
a
big
increase
in
the
monarch,
butterfly
population.
B
Then
this
this
year
we
implemented
our
Shoreline
Wildlife
Management
plan.
So
I
mentioned
already
that
we
had
a
burrowing
owl
preservation
plan
and
this
year
because
of
city
council
has
put
biodiversity
as
a
priority
here
for
the
city
of
Mountain
View.
We
set
up
this
plan,
so
we
chose
five
species
and
we're
not
specifically
targeting
these
species.
These
five
species
represent
different
types
of
ecosystems
and
found
here
at
Shoreline,
so
we
use
them
as
umbrella
species.
So
by
targeting
or
focusing
on
these
species,
we
help
many
other
species.
So
we
have
Ridge
wise
rail.
B
If
you
protect
them,
you
also
protect
the
salt
marsh
harvest
mouse.
You
protect
the
pygmy
butterfly,
you
protect
nesting
areas
for
Northern
harriers,
so
you're,
just
picking
one
species
as
a
number
out
of
species
benefiting
many
other
species,
the
black
skimmers
the
islands
on
the
shoreline
sailing
Lake.
We
also
have
phosphorus
turns
nesting
on
that
island.
B
Over
100
nests,
we
have
Mallards,
we
have
God
walls,
we
have
kilder,
we
have
Canada's
all
nesting
on
the
island,
one
small
little
Island,
the
Whitetail
kite
they
nest
in
trees
and
shrubs
and
feed
in
grassland
areas
by
planting
shrubs
to
provide
nesting
habitat.
Not
only
do
you
help
them
out,
but
every
other
bird
that
nests
in
trees,
then
we
pick
trees
which
are
larval
food
for
other
species
such
as
butterflies,
or
we
pick
shrubs
that
provide
berries
nuts
seeds.
B
We're
trying
to
increase
habitat
for
all
these
different
species,
the
amount
of
butterflies
not
only
do
they
use
milkweeds
as
a
larval
plant.
The
actual
flowers
from
the
milkweeds
are
great
for
attracting
A
diversity
of
invertebrates
and
the
San
Francisco
common,
yellow
throat
nest
in
Wetland
areas,
along
with
red,
winged,
blackbirds
and
Orioles
they're,
all
using
those
particular
areas
as
well.
B
So
it
really
is
important
to
protect
biodiversity
and
I
mentioned
already
we're
very,
very
fortunate
here
in
the
Bay
Area
there's
so
much
things
you
can
do
and
see,
and
I
really
recommend
that
if
you
ever
get
the
opportunity
is
try
go
out
to
some
of
these
places
to
see
those
Wildlife
or
to
work
on
volunteer
groups
get
out
to
know
people
and
you're
helping
the
environment.
It's
great
Educational
Opportunity,
it's
a
great
way
to
meet
other
people,
so
some
places
I
I
recommend
is
Edgewood.
B
Park
Edgewood
Park
is
located
on
Serpentine
soil,
which
is
our
state
soil.
Here
in
California
it
actually
has
very,
very
few
nutrients.
A
lot
of
California
native
plants
evolved
to
live
on
that
nutrient
per
soil,
so
it's
up
near
Redwood
City.
So,
in
the
springtime
it's
a
great
place
to
see
native
plants,
especially
annuals
Natural
Bridges,
State
Beach
I
mentioned
that
you
have
tide
pools
there
and
also
the
monarch
butterflies
anyone
State
Park,
not
too
far
away
from
Natural
Bridges.
B
You
can
see
the
elephant
seals
same
time
from
October
right
through
to
February,
while
watching
trips
I
was
at
one
from
San
Francisco
from
Fort
Mason.
We
saw
15
different
species
of
15
individual
whales,
three
different
species-
that's
not
always
like
that.
Every
time
I
was
on
another
one
where
we
saw
no
whales
at
all
and
Don
Edwards
National
Wildlife
Refuge,
the
Alviso
education
center
is
just
down
the
road.
They
have
all
these
boardwalks
out
into
the
wetlands.
B
They
also
have
a
lot
of
educational
programs
for
children,
I've
seen
them
advertising
restoration
out
there,
planting
native
plants.
They
have
walks,
docent
lead
walks
to
see
butterflies,
to
see,
owls
and
then
volunteer
opportunities.
We've
worked
with
Grassroots
ecology
and
California
Native
Plant
Society.
If
you
wanted
our
websites,
they
list
a
lot
of
projects
that
you
can
go
out
there
and
get
your
hands
dirty
or
even
hear
a
shoreline,
and
a
very
recent
phenomenon
is
bio
blitzes
and
somebody
organizes
them,
keep
Coyote
Valley
beautiful
and
they
actually
thank
you
very
much.
B
They
actually
operate
them,
so
you
go
out
with
biologists
and
you
download
I
naturalist
onto
your
phone
and
when
you
see
species
you
just
click
on
it.
It
actually
tells
you
what
those
species
are
and
then
the
input
of
that
data
into
a
database,
which
is
very,
very
important
to
find
out
what
species
and
you've
actually
found
some
very
rare
and
beautiful
species
out
in
some
of
these
areas.
B
So
I'll
finish
up
my
burrowing
out
doing
its
yoga
pose.
So
there
is
a
great
diversity
out
there.
The
city,
Mountain
View,
is
going
Way
Beyond
what
other
cities
have
done
and
that's
the
only
reason
why
we
do
have
burrowing
owls
out
here.
That's
the
only
reason
we
have
Whitetail
kites
nesting
out
here.
That's
the
reason
why
we
have
the
largest
Egret
Rookery
in
the
South
San
Francisco
Bay.
B
That's
the
only
reason
why
a
lot
of
these
species
are
here
only
because
of
plans
implemented
by
the
city
and
also
volunteers
and
the
local
community
that
gets
involved
in
restoring
saving
and
monitoring
a
lot
of
these
species.
So
is
anybody
any
questions.
C
Taco
is
very
interesting:
I
ride
my
bike
along
Stevens,
Creek
Trail
and
the
area
where
Google
put
up
their
circus
tent
those
trees.
Just
one
by
one,
have
been
falling
over
and
I
used
to
see
a
lot
of
egrets
down
there,
and
then
they
were
gone
for
quite
a
while
seems
like
they're
coming
back.
But
is
there
any
concern
about
the
trees
that
have
disappeared
and
it
looks
as
if
it's
as
a
result
of
the
construction
they've
done
and
like
the
the
row?
C
B
Are
these
on
their
property
on
the
muffet?
Airfield
property
are
already
in
the
Stevens
Creek
corridor,
so
the
creek
Corridor
is
owned
by
Valley
Water.
We
don't
have
any
jurisdiction
over
there.
They
typically
do
save
trees.
I
know
they
are
required
to
do
environmental
reviews.
When
there's
projects
going
on
I
know
here
in
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
when
we
remove
Heritage
trees,
we
have
a
two
to
one
replacement
ratio.
B
I
know
when
we
switched
over
to
recycling
water.
A
lot
of
our
redwoods
died
because
of
the
high
salt
content,
and
the
policy
now
for
the
city
is
not
to
plant
redwoods
moving
forward.
They
are
native
to
the
to
the
mountain
range
here:
they're,
not
actually
native
to
the
valley
floor.
So
moving
forward
we're
focusing
more
on
a
lot
of
native
species.
B
We
don't
really
have
control
over
that
area
and
I
know
I'm,
not
that
familiar
with
that
building,
but
the
other
building
here
on
Amphitheater
and
Shoreline
Boulevard
they
planted
I
think
was
99
California
natives.
They
planted
a
lot
of
willow
trees.
A
lot
of
oak
trees.
I
actually
saw
lots
of
butterflies
over
there.
I
think
the
majority
of
it
is
natives,
the
city's
policy
in
the
North
Bayshore
area,
which
is
from
Highway
101
to
Shoreline
Park,
it's
in
protected
areas
such
as
long
Creeks,
we
plant
100
native
trees
and
shrobes
in
other
areas.
B
D
D
B
Yes,
yes,
yes,
so
we
did
do
some
preliminary
studies.
Monitoring
before
we
planted
the
plants
was
mostly
non-native
plants.
It
was
pepperweed,
it
was
fennel,
yellow,
star,
thistle,
non-native
grasses.
So
we've
done
some
monetary
under
those
species
do
provide
some
habitat
for
certain
species,
but
at
the
end
of
the
three
year
period,
when
we
pl
we
only
monitored
within
where
we
planted
those
over
one
thousand
plants,
30
different
species,
and
when
they
were
in
bloom,
we
planted
Goldenrod
Marsh
Goldenrod,
Marsh,
backrest,
Gump,
plant
coffee,
Berry
elderberry.
B
B
B
Volunteer
program
so
actually
Christina
beside
you,
we
we
don't
initiate
our
own
volunteer
program.
What
we
do
is
we
wait
for
other
people
to
contact
us
so
when
they
contact
us,
say
local
organization
or
a
company
we'll
try
to
accommodate
them.
We
can't
take
big
groups
out
here
because
we're
in
sensitive
areas,
but
we
have
tried
to
do
a
monthly
monitoring
project
and
Gail
might
be
able
to
give
you
the
website
for
that.
B
Yes,
so
we
try
to
meet
once
a
month
to
do
weeding
and
plantings.
We
don't
do
plantings
all
the
times.
Ideally
we
do
it
in
Spring
and
fall
when
temperatures
are
cooler,
but
Gail
can
give
you
that
the
contact
information
so
we're
accommodating
their
requests
to
do
volunteer
projects,
but
you
are
welcome
to
join
them.
A
Yeah
along
those
lines,
we
kind
of
have
two
different
types
of
volunteer
programs
out
here,
so
we
have
sort
of
our
ongoing
ones,
and
then
we
have
these
project
by
project
ones
that
fills
referencing
where
we
typically
engage
larger
groups
for
them.
Our
ongoing
ones
are
actually
in
a
revamp
stage.
Right
now
we
will
be
hopefully
pursuing
restarting
that
program.
A
We
start
to
get
a
whole
lot
of
different
volunteer
programs
going
and
we're
looking
to
kind
of
consolidate
them
into
one
comprehensive,
really
beneficial
program,
and
so,
but
what
Phil
typically
has
is
groups
coming
out
on
a
project
by
project
basis
or
a
day
by
day
basis
where
we
have
you
out,
come
out
versus
kind
of
that
ongoing
program,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
looking,
though,
to
start
back
up,
so
we
will
have
more
information
on
our
website
in
the
very
near
future.
F
Hi
I
was
just
wondering
how
you
collaborate
cooperate
with
other
organizations
around
here
like
the
Palo
Alto
Baylands,
because
it
seems
you
know,
animals
move
when
yes,.
B
So
we
do
work
with
the
Rangers
at
Palo
Alto
at
the
Baylands
Park
we
exchange
information
on
some
of
the
species.
Like
last
couple
of
years,
we
have
we've
had
coyotes
coming
out
here,
staying
year-round,
historically
they're,
only
migratory
individuals
coming
true,
so
they've
been
out
at
Palo
Alto
for
a
while
and
they've
come
over
here
now.
So
we
have
some
some
exchange
of
information.
B
If,
because
of
we're
doing
a
lot
of
monitoring
of
burrowing
owls,
they
always
notify
us.
When
borrowing
owls
show
up
at
the
Palo
Alto
Baylands,
they
don't
have
breeding
burrowing
owls
out
there.
They
have
migratory
Birds,
which
arrive
in
winter
time.
So
they'll
often
keep
us
up
to
date
on
any
individuals
that
arrive
out
there,
because
they
know
we're
monitoring
them
and
then
we're
also
interested,
because
if
to
find
out,
if
there
are
the
owls
are
banded
here,
because
we
we
do
want
to
find
out
how
far
the
owls
are
traveling
from
Shoreline.
G
Foreign,
thank
you.
This
was
fascinating.
I
have
a
question
about
the
Kildeer
I
also
I
saw
those
eggs,
so
once
you
find
them,
what
do
you
do.
B
We
make
them
up
which
we
distribute
to
all
the
staff
Shoreline
to
make
sure
they
don't
drive
on
that
road
and
we
put
cones
down
so
they
won't
accidentally
drive
over
the
eggs.
So
fortunately
to
date,
they've
always
been
in
areas
where
we
can
use
an
alternative
road.
So
we've
never
had
too
many
major
problems
with
them
and
they
do
have
high
predation
rates
because
they
are
easy
to
be
found
by
other
Predators,
but
they
will
have
multiple
Broods
and
the
fact
that
they're
still
here
in
large
numbers,
they're,
obviously
very,
very
successful
birds.
H
I've
seen
what
I
think
are
nutria
in
the
Permanente
Creek
close
to
101
I
tried
to
report.
Those
and
I
was
asked
for
like
close-up
photographs,
which
I
couldn't
really
get
down
into
Permanente
Creek
to.
I
B
So
last
year,
Palo
Alto
is
reporting,
beavers
I,
don't
think
they're
beavers
in
Permanente
Creek
I've
also
seen
what
you've
seen
as
well.
I,
don't
think
they're,
nutria,
I,
think
they're
I
can't
remember
the
name,
but
it's
a
it's
a
type
of
rat,
but
it's
not
a
nutria
I,
don't
think
so
they
do
have
like
a
little.
B
If
you
look
at
the
Tails,
so
the
beaver's
tail
is
much
different
to
the
Nutri
or
deodorant
rodents
and
they're
reporting
at
least
one
adult
and
one
young
in
the
Palo
Alto
Baylands
and
we've
never
seen
them
here
at
Shoreline.
I
know
also
river
otters
are
returning
to
the
Bay
Area
we
haven't
seen
in
my
Shoreline,
but
hopefully
it
will
arrive
here.
One
of
these
days
it
could
be
a
muskrat.
Yes,
yes,
they're
big
they're
about
this
size.
Yes,
yes,
so
just
look
at
the
Tails.
If
it's
flat
tail
be
the
beaver.
J
Wonderfully
presented
great
information.
Thank
you
Phil,
a
couple
questions:
how
do
you
anticipate
working
with
sfei
on
the
biodiversity
study
or
program?
One
two,
if
you
had
the
ability
to
introduce
any
policies
yourself
for
the
city
of
Mountain,
View
regarded
to
biodiversity,
what
would
they
be
and
then
a
third
you.
J
Do
you
have
a
population
number
for
the
the
Red
Hawks
here,
I
I,
don't
know
if
I'm
seeing
the
same
one
or
if
there
are
a
large
number
of
them.
So
you
can.
You
can
answer
any
of
those
I'll.
B
Start
with
the
red-tailed
Hawks,
so
we
do
know
they
have
nested
this
year
on
the
at
the
Shoreline
Amphitheater,
and
there
was
at
least
two
a
young
one
was
successful,
the
other
one
didn't
make
it
we
they
do
Nest.
They
have
nests
on
the
golf
course
and
a
tray
successfully,
but
we
do
see
more
than
one
breeding
pair
and
juvenile,
so
it's
possible
that
we
have
two
three
pairs.
I've
also
seen
them
on
the
electrical
pylons
between
here
and
Palo
Alto.
B
B
Breeding
policies,
I
think
the
city
I
live
in
San,
Jose
and
I
go
to
City
Council
meetings
in
San,
Jose
and
hopefully
there's
nobody
here
from
the
council
in
San,
Jose
I,
don't
think
they're
very
active
when
it
comes
to
biodiversity
and
Wildlife
I've
spoken
several
times
on
on
issues
about
Wildlife
the
city
of
Mountain,
View
I
mentioned
the
Birmingham
preservation
plan.
I
mentioned
the
shoreline
Wildlife
Management
plan
there
implementing
a
biodiversity
plan
for
the
rest
of
the
city.
B
They
already
have
a
tree
canopy
cover
plan,
so
they're,
very,
very
proactive
in
that
respect
and
another
thing
I
see
between
the
difference
between
Mountain
View
and
San,
Jose
and
Mountain.
View
has
a
tendency
to
create
Parks
everywhere,
I've
seen
them
buy
buildings
in
residential
areas
which
have
big
backyards,
remove
the
building
and
just
turn
it
into
a
local
little
Park
they're,
very
strict
with
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
they're,
very
strict
on
the
two
to
one
replacement
tree
ratio.
B
We've
worked
with
them
on
numerous
occasions
to
plant
some
of
the
species
out
here,
so
I
have
to
say
that
Mountain
View
is
very,
very
Advanced
compared
to
other
cities
and
even
the
fact
that
they
hired
a
full-time
biologist.
Very
few
cities
do
that.
Also
so
I'd
have
to
say
Mountain
viewers
up
here
when
it
comes
to
things
and
San
Jose
is
kind
of
down
there
and
what
was
the
third
question?
B
That's
onion
is
it's
its
initial
design
period.
I
know
I
will
be
working
on
on
the
project
as
one
stage
or
another
I
think
they're
only
kind
of
looking
at
what
to
do
or
where
the
focus
will
be.
At
the
moment
there
they
haven't
gone
to
the
same
extent
as
the
shoreline
Wildlife
Management
plan,
which
we
just
implemented
this
year
so
I
just
we
just
spent
a
significant
amount
of
time
on
working
on
that,
and
hopefully
that
the
because
we
have
a
lot
of
protective
species
here.
B
The
rest
of
Mountain
View
wouldn't
have
the
same
level
that
we
have
here,
because
you
don't
have
that
high
level
of
biodiversity
and
also
high
level
of
endangered
and
protective
species
out
here,
but
hopefully,
I
know.
The
plan
is
to
plant
Natives
and
emphasize
the
importance
of
open
space
and
species
conservation.
I
B
So
so
the
waterfalls
Charlotte
I'm,
saying
like
is
pumped
in
from
the
Charleston
Slough.
So
once
those
species
get
in
here
as
very,
very
small
fryers,
very
small
fish
once
they
grow,
they
can't
get
back
out
again
because
the
water
is
pumped
from
the
lake
back
into
Permanente
Creek.
So
any
species
that
get
in
there
and
I
have
seen
rain
and
have
seen
big
fish
and
I
know.
When
it
comes
to
shellfish
like
mussels
and
clams.
B
It
has
some
of
the
highest
abundance
of
native
shellfish
in
I,
think
in
the
South
San
Francisco
Bay
Area,
but
they
are
trapped
once
they
get
in
there
and
turn
into
Big
Fish.
It
would
be
really
nice
to
see
what
species
are
out
there,
but
that's
a
a
big
study.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
everybody,
so
I
know
we
can
keep
going
with
questions,
but
we
do
have
some
special
guests
outside
here
that
I
don't
want
to
get
Restless
while
they're
waiting
for
us,
so
we're
actually
going
to
take
like
a
two
to
three
minute
break,
so
we
can
get
them
all
set
up,
get
everybody
miked
up.
So
this
is
your
time
to
restroom
coffee
food.
A
A
Your
questions
have
been
awesome
and
we
love
getting
that
recorded
and
as
part
of
this
video
and
provides
a
little
bit
of
context
for
when
we're
getting
the
wonderful
learning
experience
that
we're
getting
here,
and
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
let
Phil
provide
an
introduction.
B
Okay,
I
just
want
to
introduce
Anna
and
Olivia
from
the
wildlife,
education
and
rehabilitation
center,
so
these
centers
are
very,
very
important,
especially
this
time
of
the
year
to
protect
and
save
wildlife
and
out
here
at
Shoreline.
All
the
time
you'll
see
little
nestlings
falling
falling
out.
The
nests
or
birds,
birds
and
other
animals
can
get
injured,
especially
when
they
first
start
flying.
They
they
don't
have
the
skills
to
fly.
K
Okay,
I'm
like
yeah,
yes,
so
my
name
is
Anna
and
this
is
Olivia
and
yes,
we
are
both
from
w-e-r-c
the
wildlife,
education
and
rehabilitation
center,
pretty
much.
What
we
do
kind
of
what
Phil
is
talking
about
is
when
people
find
sick,
injured,
orphan
native
Wildlife.
We
take
them
in
and
our
goal
is
to
fix
them
up,
so
we
can
get
them
back
out
into
the
wild.
That
is
our
main
purpose.
We
do
our
best.
You
know.
K
Sometimes
animals
come
into
us,
that
you
know
that
we
can't
help
out
or
where
we
are
able
to
help
them
out,
but
our
goal
is
to
kind
of
negate
the
human
interaction,
because
sometimes
it's
negative.
You
know,
even
though
we're
not
purposely
doing
that
when
we
drive
our
cars.
Sometimes
animals
get
hit
by
cars.
Our
pets
sometimes
catch
these
animals,
so
we
do
our
best
to
save
the
animals.
We
can
to
put
them
out
back
out
to
the
wild.
Even
sometimes
animals
get
hurt.
K
Naturally,
if
we
can
help
them,
we
will
help
those
guys
again
to
take
place
for
one
that
might
pass
away
due
to
human
interaction,
because
unfortunately,
humans
kind
of
have
a
big
role
in
our
ecosystem,
we're
hoping
to
make
that
more
of
a
positive
kind
of
interaction,
and
so
also
not
only
do
we
take
in
sick,
injured
and
orphan
NATO
Wildlife,
but
we
also
come
out
to
groups
like
this
in
schools
to
educate
everybody
about
our
local
Wildlife.
So
we
do
just
deal
with
Native
species
at
the
Wildlife
Center.
K
We
do
specialize
in
Birds
of
Prey
and
also
baby
bobcats.
So
I
didn't
bring
a
baby
bobcat
here
today,
though,
we
do
have
three
in
care
right
now,
but
again
those
guys
are
going
back
out
to
the
wild.
The
animals
that
you
guys
are
going
to
meet
here
today,
again
all
have
a
reason
why
they're
not
back
out
into
the
wild,
so
Olivia
is
going
to
go,
get
our
first
bird
ready,
so
I
know.
Phil
has
already
talked
to
you
a
lot
about
burrowing
owls.
He
is
by
far
the
expert.
B
Say
something
I
forgot
to
mention
it
and
we're
actually
working
with
work
for
our
juvenile
overwintering
burrowing
our
program.
So
all
the
burrowing
owl
juveniles
that
we
capture
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they
all
go
to
work
and
the
volunteers
there
feed
them
give
them
fresh
water,
take
care
of
them
in
a
facility
in
Coyote
Valley
and
they
spent
all
of
that
is
done,
free
of
charge
to
help
the
bourbon
house
and
if
it
wasn't
for
this
organization,
we'd
have
fewer
burrowing
owls
out
in
this
area.
K
K
So
while
the
bird
gets
ready
to
come
in
again,
she
is
going
to
be
a
burrowing
owl,
and
this
is
a
bird
that
you
will
find
around
this
area
and
here
come
in,
so
you
might
notice
something
looking
a
little
bit
strange
with
her
right
now.
She
does
have
her
Wing
out.
That's
because
sorry
Olivia,
but
you
don't
make
a
good
perch,
so
so
she's
kind
of
has
that
Wing
out
there
to
help
her
keep
her
balance.
K
The
reason
why
you
only
see
one
Wing,
though,
is
because
the
reason
why
we
have
her
she's
actually
missing
her
other
Wing.
She
only
has
one
Wing,
so
you
can
imagine
a
one-wing
burrowing
owl
would
not
do
very
well
out
in
the
wild.
So
that's
why
again,
she
is
non-releasable.
What
more
than
likely
happened
to
her
again.
It
was
a
human
Wildlife
conflict
is
we
believe
she
was
hit
by
a
car
due
to
the
fact
that
she
was
found
near
the
roadway.
K
So
again,
she
can't
tell
us
exactly
what
happened,
but
luckily
somebody
spotted
her
and
they
brought
her
into
the
Wildlife
Center.
At
that
time
she
did
have
both
wings,
but
what
happened?
Was
she
had?
What
was
called
a
compound
fracture,
which
is
actually
when
the
bone
comes
through
the
skin?
You
can
imagine
that
is
not
a
good
thing,
especially
if
we
don't
know
how
long
she
was
on
the
ground.
How
long
that
bone
was
exposed
to
the
air,
because
they
can
pick
up
bacteria
and
things
get
into
the
bone,
which
is
very
dangerous.
K
So
we
got
her.
We
put
her
on
antibiotics
right
away
to
try
to
kill
any
bacteria
that
might
have
gone
into
the
bone
or
in
her
body,
and
our
vet
tried
to
save
the
wing.
However,
she
did
end
up
developing
an
infection,
and
so
the
only
way
to
save
her
life
was
to
actually
amputate
that
Wing,
so
she
is
actually
missing
from
her
elbow
down.
I
know,
it
looks
like
her.
K
Wing
is
completely
gone,
but
she
does
have
the
humerus
bone
still
still
intact,
but
her
elbow
down
is
is
has
been
removed
so
like
I
mentioned.
Unfortunately,
she
cannot
go
back
out
to
the
wild,
but
she
is
a
very
important
animal
for
for
us
at
the
Wildlife
Center,
because
again
she
gets
to
come
out.
So
people
get
to
see
these
guys
up
close
because
we'd
rather
see
them
up
close
this
way,
or
you
know
at
a
distance
out
in
the
wild,
because
I
think
that's
a
really
big
problem
with
these
people.
K
The
burrowing
owls
is
they'll,
see
them
and
a
lot
of
people
have
tried
to
get
too
close
to
them,
and
these
guys
do
live
in
big
groups,
and
they
do
have
owls
kind
of
on
guard
and
they're
so
focused
on
that
person
that
Predators
can
easily
come
in
and
and
snatch
some
of
these
owls
out
of
the
way
and
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
it
has
been
mentioned
to
you
know
why
these
guys
numbers
are
dropping
out
in
the
area.
You
know
with
a
lot
of
building
habitat
loss.
K
These
guys
do
kind
of
move
from
spot
to
spot,
but
they
come
back
and
to
those
areas,
but
then
so
once
they
leave.
A
lot
of
people
find
the
opportunity
that
that's
when
they
want
to
build
right,
because
you
can't
build
when
they're
on
the
property,
so
they
wait
for
them
to
fly
away,
and
then
these
guys
come
back
and
they
they
lost
that
habitat
luck.
Luckily,
you
know,
groups
like
Talons
are
helping
bring
these
guys
back
up.
K
They
kind
of
there's
one
or
two
and
that's
it.
You
know
they
they
make
for
life
and
you
usually
don't
see
more
than
that
unless
they
have
young
or
again,
these
guys
do
live
in
those
colonies.
So
when
you're
out
here
walking
around
stuff,
you
might
see
these
guys
in
kind
of
up
the
fields
up
on
fence
posts.
You
notice
they
do
have
long
legs.
If
she
was
standing
up
straight,
you
notice
you'd
have
that
long
kind
of
a
high
stance
and
again
that's
so
they
can
kind
of
view
and
see
kind
of.
K
K
But
again,
these
guys
are
considered
a
diurnal
owl,
there's
actually
three
species
of
daytime
owls
and
she
is
one
of
them
and
then
we
also
have
the
northern
Pygmy
Owl,
which
is
a
smaller,
even
smaller
than
her,
and
also
the
elf
owl,
which
is
actually
the
smallest
owl.
But
we
don't
have
those
guys
in
the
area.
We
do
have
the
pygmy
owls
and
we're
in
the
Santa
Cruz
mountains,
but
then
these
guys
are
going
to
be
found
around
here.
What's
also
really
cool
about
them
is
her.
K
Coloring
is
a
very
kind
of
light
brown
because,
again
she's
out
during
the
daytime
that
brown
kind
of
helps
her
blend
in
with
the
feels
and
with
the
dirt,
where
a
lot
of
her
nocturnal
cousins
coming
out
at
night,
they
actually
look
more
like
tree
bark
because
again
they're
going
to
be
up
in
the
tree.
These
guys
are
going
to
be
down
in
the
Burrows
to
help
save
kind
of
their
habitat.
K
Make
really
good
places
for
these
guys
to
go
organizations
again,
like
Talon
put
in
artificial
Burrows
too,
so
these
guys
have
have
a
place
to
live,
because
again,
that's
what
they're
they
don't.
They
can't
build
a
big
Borough
by
themselves.
They
usually
take
over
other
animals
Burrows.
They
could
do
a
little
bit
of
digging,
but
not
not
quite
they're,
not
designed
like
the
Badgers
and
the
ground
squirrels
right.
We
all
know
those
ground,
squirrels
kind
of
digging
digging
those
holes
and
again
these
guys
are
good
to
have
around
they
do
eat
a
lot
of
insects.
K
They'll
eat
a
lot
of
mice.
They
eat
small,
reptiles,
so
again,
they're
going
to
help
control
the
prey
population,
because
we
don't
want
the
population
of
like
Rats
of
mice
and
things
to
get
out
of
control
where
there's
not
enough
food
for
those
guys
to
eat.
There's
not
enough
habitat
diseases
spread
really
quickly.
K
So
again,
that's
why
Predators
like
owls
the
burrowing
owl,
are
so
important
to
keep
around
to
help
control
those
numbers,
because
nature
always
has
checks
and
balances
and
predators
are
a
very
important
role,
even
though
I
know,
it
seems
kind
of
sad
sometimes
because
these
guys
are
carnivore
that
they
have
to
eat
other
animals,
but
again,
there's
a
purpose
for
that.
So
we
really
do
like
these
guys
kind
of
around
so
I
do
have
some
more
animals
I
want
to
share
with
you
guys
ones
you
can
find
around
here.
L
Hi,
thank
you
so
nice
to
see
you
one
so
close.
What
is
the
reason
why
burrowing
owls
are
so
emphasized
when
talking
about
this
area
around
here,
I
think
it's
probably
like
anytime.
You
talk
about
Shoreline,
Park
or
the
area
around.
Here
you
talk
about
burrowing
owls.
Why
is
there
such
an
emphasis
on
talking
about
this
specific
species?
Yeah.
K
We
have
there
I
mean
I
can
check
with
you,
because
you
know
you
know
that
a
little
bit
better
than
I
do.
This
is
one
of
the
most
well-known
that
there's
a
large
quantity
of
them
around,
but
that
also
creates
problems
too
right
when
a
lot
of
people
know
when
these
species
are,
you
know
around,
everybody
wants
to
come
and
see
them,
and
you
know
everybody
coming
in
that
can
affect
these
guys.
K
Like
I
mentioned
I
know
that
there
has
been
cases
where
people
can
come
out
to
go
and
watch
them
and
they
either
get
too
close.
So
they
distract
them,
which
makes
it
very
easy
for
a
predator
to
kind
of
come
come
in,
but
yeah
Shoreline
is
associated
with
these
guys
because
there
are
you'll,
you'll,
more
likely,
see
them
here
than
a
lot
of
other
places,
because
there's
a
big
Colony
I'm,
not
saying
you
can't
go
and
look
at
them.
You'll
keep
your
eye
out,
but
it's
always
just
remember.
These
are
wild
animals.
K
M
K
So
animals
that
that
mate
for
life
I'm
pretty
sure
again
that
that
was
a
lot
of
the
birds
of
prey
do
mate
for
life.
That's
where
I
put
that
in
there.
So
if
something
happens
to
one
of
their
mates,
they
will
go
find
another
one.
So
it's
not
that
this.
Is
it
nothing
else,
but
if
one
disappears
for
a
long
time,
they're
they're
not
gonna,
be
like
well.
That
was
my
chance.
They
will
find
somebody
else,
but
in
general
it's
not
like
some
species
where
it's
a
bunch
of
different
different
ones.
K
Again,
Phil
will
be
a
good
one
to
kind
of
ask
that
more
of
the
kind
of
the
kind
of
Behavioral
with
these
guys,
but
as
far
as
her
that
was
I
know
in
the
talks
a
little
bit,
I
think
when
we
first
try
to
talk
to
you.
I
actually
was
our
executor
was
talking
about
it
because
it
would
be
nice
to
get
her
jeans
back
into
the
in
the
pool
of
things.
So
they
know
females
tend
to
be
not
as
many
as
the
males
I
know.
That
was
true.
K
I
think
it
was
last
year
with
with
the
young
that
comes
in
the
one
issue:
it's
not
as
easy
as
it
sounds
like
we
would
be
all
for
that,
but
these
animals
that
you
guys
meeting
they
don't
belong
to
us.
So,
yes,
they're
on
our
permits,
we
do
have
permits
for
them,
but
they
are
under
the
our
federal
permit
in
state
permit.
So
you
have
to
go
through
a
lot
of
Hoops
to
get
permission
to
be
able
to
use
her
in
that
breeding
program.
K
But
you
know
I,
think
that
would
be
a
kind
of
a
cool
thing
to
do
again
get
her
jeans,
because,
unfortunately
she
can't
be
back
around
to
the
wild
being
that
she
can't
go
in
the
wild.
Her
gene
pool
just
stopped
right
there,
so
it's
kind
of
something
to
kind
of
look
into,
but
again
it's
all
that
red
tape
kind
of
getting
through
through
it.
B
A
scientific
collecting
pyramid
to
do
captive,
breeding
and
overwintering
and
we're
not
allowed
to
breed
owls
from
outside
of
our
County
Department
of
California
Department
of
Fish
and
Wildlife,
doesn't
allow
it
at
the
moment.
So
we
don't
know
where
she
came
from
more
than
likely
she's
a
migratorial
based
on
the
time
of
year.
She
was
found
so
she's
not
allowed
into
our
program
at
the
moment,
then.
B
K
I
knew
that
there
was
something
because
I
know
we
were
talked
about
when
you,
when
we
first
got
in
communication,
putting
her
into
yeah
like
I,
said
it's
all
that
red
tape
right
so
yeah.
She
was
found
again
alongside
the
road
she
was
down
in
Morgan
Hill,
but
yeah.
She
was
they.
We
don't
usually
have
them
around
there.
So,
like
Phil
said
she's,
probably
just
flying
through.
So
it's
unfortunate
I
didn't
know
there
was
a
definite,
no
but
yeah.
Sorry,
sorry,
Tara,
no
young,
for
you
all
right!
K
So
Olivia's
gonna
go
put
her
back
because
she's
gonna
get
our
next
bird
ready
and
I'm.
Trying
to
so.
The
next
bird
that
we
will
bring
out
is
again
another
one
that
you'll
find
around
here
now
Tara
she's
out
during
the
daytime.
So
again
you
might
see
a
little
little
bird
kind
of
popping
around
out.
Here
again,
these
are
like
I
said
getting
up
on
their
tippy
toes
kind
of
bouncing
up
and
down
just
trying
to
sort
of
the
area.
K
This
next
animal,
though
you
are
super
common,
a
lot
more
common
in
those
the
burrowing
owls,
but
you
might
not
notice
it
as
much
because
this
one
comes
out
at
night.
She
is
nocturnal,
but
she
is
also
an
owl.
So
we
dropped
the
daytime
owl.
Now
I
got
the
nighttime
owl.
These
guys
also
not
only
live
here,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
they
probably
live
right
by
wherever
you
guys
live
they're
the
most
common
owl
we
have
in
the
area.
K
K
She
can
be
a
little
bit
more
antsy.
As
a
word
today
we
brought
so
we
brought
the
hard
Birds
to
bring
out
today.
They
all
have
their
own
little
unique
personalities.
This
bird,
she
was
actually
purposely
hurt
by
a
person
and
again
we'll
go
more
into
that
story.
When
you
guys
do
meet
her
you're
going
to
notice
something.
You
know
right
away
that
looks
weird,
especially
because
when
she
comes
in
she
doesn't
like
us
moving
around
with
her
a
lot.
So
that's
why
I
love
him.
K
I
had
to
stand
still
in
one
area
because
she
might
do
what's
called
baiting
where
she
kind
of
jumps
and
bounces
around
on
the
hand,
and
that's
because
she's
like
oh,
my
gosh
I,
want
to
go
up
really
high
I,
see
all
this
lights
and
things
above
me.
So
she
wants
to
go
up
to
the
highest
point,
because
Birds
feel
the
safest
up
there
here
she
comes
in.
She
also
might
give
you
the
evil.
Stare,
see
that's
fine,
so
this
is
Bernadette.
She
is
a
barn
owl.
K
You
can
see,
looks
very
differently
than
that
burrowing
owl,
because
again
they
live
very
differently
right.
The
burrowing
owl
is
going
to
live
in
the
ground
and
she
is
going
to
live
up
in.
You
know
kind
of
different
places,
we'll
kind
of
go
over
that
because
most
of
the
time,
when
you
think
of
an
owl,
you
think
they
live
up
in
a
tree.
Yes,
these
guys
can
go
up
in
trees
but,
as
their
name
suggests,
a
barn
owl
right.
They
actually
do
like
to
live
in
Barns.
Now
again,
barns
aren't
naturally
that's
human
made.
K
So
naturally
you
know
they
would
live
in.
You
know
in
trees,
crevices
things
that
they
can
find
they'll
lay
their
eggs
directly
on
the
ground,
pretty
much.
They
want
to
be
up
High,
but
if
they,
if
they
have
to,
they
will
be
kind
of
on
the
lower
side,
but
they'll
lay
their
eggs
like
even
in
Barns
on
top
of
hay
bales.
They
don't
build
nests,
okay,
so
again,
very
different
that
burrowing
owl,
which
is
going
to
be
having
their
eggs
under
the
ground
of
those
Burrows.
K
So
going
back
to
her
story,
why
we
do
have
her
again,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
tricky
because
she's
actually
behaving
herself
a
good
job,
but
you
can
see
this
left
wing
looks
different
than
the
right
again
if
she
cooperates
and
kind
of
moves
around
a
little
bit.
She
too,
like
like
Tara,
is
missing
part
of
her
Wing,
okay,
she's
missing
her
wrist
on
that
left
wing.
Now,
like
I
said
somebody
did
this
intentionally,
so
what
happened
to
her
is.
K
She
was
actually
found
on
the
ground
in
Gilroy
unable
to
fly
so
someone
called
the
police
department
who
brought
her
into
us.
We
took
a
close
look
at
her
and
knew
right
away
why
she
wasn't
able
to
fly.
Like
I
said
she
is
missing
her
wrists
on
that
left
wing.
You
can
see
when
she
kind
of
opened
it
right
there
and
it
wasn't
something
that
happens
in
nature.
It
was
a
clean
cut.
K
Oh
that's
one
thing
I
forgot
to
mention
before
birds
do
go
to
the
bathroom
a
lot
because
again
they
want
to
be
nice
and
light,
so
they
can
be
able
to
fly
we'll
clean
it
up.
I
promise
I'll
make
Olivia
clean
it
up
anyway.
No
that's
one
thing:
we
should
train
the
birds.
You
got
to
clean
up
your
own
mess
so
again
for
me
moving
around
it's
a
lot
of
movement
she's.
K
She
would
be
sleeping
right
now,
but
yeah
she
can't
fly,
which
is
why
she
kind
of
just
kind
of
falling
falling
back
down
and
then
climbing
back
up
on
the
hand.
But
so
when
she
came
into
us
again,
like
I
said
we
saw
it
was
a
clean
cut.
We
tried
to
see
if
anybody
had
permits
for
an
owl
in
the
area,
because
again
you
can't
just
have
one
even
WRC.
Like
I
mentioned
they
don't
belong
to
us
they're.
You
know
the
federal
government
state
we
have
permits
to
have
them
to
bring
them
out.
K
Here.
We
couldn't
find
anybody
who
had
permits
in
the
area.
We
did
get
one
tip
back
that
for
Halloween
that
year
somebody
was
dressed
as
Harry
Potter
familiar
with
Harry
Potter,
there's
owls
in
that
story,
so
this
person
supposedly
walked
around
with
a
barn
owl
on
their
hand.
So
we
don't
know
for
sure,
but
she
could
have
been
a
Halloween
prop.
K
We
don't
know
how
this
person
got
them.
They
found
a
lot
of
times.
Barn
owls
can
be
found
as
youngsters
they
they
fall
off
the
nest
or
even
purposely
pushed
out
of
the
nest
and
we'll
talk
about
why
that
is
with
these
guys,
it's
kind
of
a
to
make
sure
that
some
babies,
Will
Survive
they'll,
actually
purposely
push
others
out.
So
someone
might
have
found
that
took
it
home
and
thought
it
would
be.
K
A
great
idea
to
you
know,
raise
them
as
a
pet,
but
if
you
and
I
know
some
people
do
keep
birds
as
pets-
and
you
know,
birds
do
fly
so
a
lot
of
times
with
pet
birds.
People
will
trim
their
feathers
it's
kind
of
unfortunate
because
you
have
a
pet
bird.
You
know
they
fly,
so
it's
always
good
to
have.
Let
them
be
able
to
have
their
natural
exercise,
but
that's
a
common
practice
is
trimming
the
feathers,
but
can
you
imagine
feathers
grow
back
so?
K
Can
you
imagine
trying
to
keep
a
wild
animal
like
a
barn
owl
have
to
trim
it
every
so
often
because
once
those
feathers
grow
well
enough,
it
can
fly
so
in
a
more
permanent
solution
is
by
doing
what's
called
pinioning
where
it's,
actually
they
remove.
That
wrist
of
wrist
of
the
bird
and
so
it's
common
like
if
you
go
to
a
lot
of
zoos
and
you
see
those
exotic
birds
and
they're
out
in
these
open
enclosures,
and
you
wonder
like
why
aren't
they
flying
away?
That's
because
they
remove
those
wrists.
So
it's
a
good.
K
You
know
way
that
they
can
still
be
out
and
not
be
able
to
escape
and
get
into
the
unnatural
habitat
around
here
for,
like
the
zoos.
So
again,
that's
the
only
tip
that
we
had
was.
They
didn't
want
to
give
us
the
family's
name,
because
they
didn't
want
to
get
them
in
trouble.
So
nothing
was
done
about
it,
but
so
again,
hopefully
by
her
coming
out
to
groups,
people
realize
if
they
still
find
an
owl.
K
You
know
they
know
not
to
keep
it
as
a
pet,
because
unfortunately
we
would
rather
her
be
out
in
the
wild,
and
now
she
can't
so.
Instead
she
is
at
our
Center
and,
like
I
said
she
does
come
out
to
groups
like
this,
but
she
also
has
a
very
big
help
where
she
acts
as
a
surrogate
parent
for
us.
So
when
we
get
baby
barn
owls
in,
we
will
put
them
with
her
because
we
don't
want
them
associating
humans
as
the
caregivers
as
like.
Oh
they
mean
food
right.
K
We
want
them
to
know
that
they
are
an
owl
and
that
they
should
stay
far
away
from
people
right,
because
that's
when
they
get
released
back
onto
the
wild,
that's
how
we
want
them
to
behave.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
think
it
would
be
cool
for
an
owl
to
come
fly
down
at
you,
but
trust
me,
even
though
the
schools
that
sounds
it'd
be
pretty
scary.
If
these
guys,
okay,
we're
just
randomly
come
coming
down,
trying
to
land
on
you,
you
notice
Olivia
here
is
wearing
a
glove.
K
That's
because
she
does
have
those
sharp
talons.
In
order
for
her
to
hunt
her
prey
so,
like
I,
said
their
interesting
habit
of
why
a
lot
of
times
these
birds
do
need
our
help.
Why
they
get
found
on
the
ground.
A
lot
is
barn
owls.
They
lay
their
eggs
days
apart
from
each
other
in
in
their
nest,
and
that's
was
when
they
hatch
those
babies
are
all
different
sizes.
You
get
big
ones
down
to
the
small
ones.
K
So
when
years,
when
there's
a
lot
of
food
around
for
these
guys
to
eat,
they're
all
going
to
get
fed
and
they're
all
going
to
get
grow
and
they're
more
of
those
guys
are
going
to
survive
on
years.
Where
there's
not
a
lot
of
food
around,
if
they
were
all
the
same
size,
they
would
all
fight
with
each
other
and
probably
injure
each
other.
This
time,
this
being
that
they're
all
different
sizes,
the
younger
ones,
will
get
knocked
out
of
the
nest.
K
So
there's
not
as
much
of
a
big
of
a
fight,
I
know
that
sounds
hard
and
sometimes
again
people
will
find
them.
Our
our
first
goal,
though,
is
when
we
do
see
an
owl
or
an
animal
out
of
its
nest
that
shouldn't
be.
We
do
try
to
put
them
back
in
and
if
it
happens
again
again,
then
we
know
okay,
there's
there's
an
issue
there,
and
then
we
will
take
them
in
and
put
them
with
her.
So
that's
probably
one
of
the
one
of
the
most
common
reasons
why
we
get
those
barn
owls.
K
The
other
reason
we
get
these
guys
in
like
I
mentioned
they
don't
build
nests,
they
lay
their
eggs
directly
on
Hay
Bales
or
they
love
palm
trees
too.
Even
though
again,
so,
if
you
have
a
palm
tree
around,
you
might
have
some
barn
owls,
because
it
those
palm
trees,
make
a
nice
little
crevice
for
them.
Also,
food
comes
up
to
them.
K
So
what
happens?
Is
these
babies
are
in
those
hay
bales
the
hay
bales
get
shipped
and
the
babies
aren't
noticed,
they're
not
noticed
until
they
get
unloaded
at
the
that
the
place
that
the
hay
is
being
sold,
I'm
sure,
there's,
probably
some
that
don't
make
it.
We
only
hear
about
the
ones
that
do,
but
obviously
the
parent
bird
isn't
following
that
truck
to
take
care
of
her
young,
so
we'll
get
them
in
that
way
as
well
and
yeah.
K
It's
surprisingly
a
lot
more
common
than
you
would
think
getting
him
that
way
and
again,
but
she
helps
us
out
by
raising
them.
So
we
can
get
those
guys
back
out
to
the
Wild
and
wineries
love
it.
We
get
a
lot
of
requests
from
wineries
for
us
to
go
and
release
them
on
their
properties,
because
again,
these
guys
are
great
at
rodent
control,
again
going
after
those
rats
and
mice
and
golfers.
K
It's
amazing.
We
watched
there's
some
footage
of
wild
barn
owls
that
were
feeding
their
young
and
they're,
feeding
like
big
old
Gophers
to
these
tiny
little
babies
and
we're
sitting
when
we
have
the
babies
in
there,
we're
chopping
up
their
food
into
tiny
little
pieces
and
I'm
like
wait.
Why
are
we
doing
that?
The
mama
bird
doesn't
even
do
that?
K
What's
also
really
cool
I
know
she
will
put
her
away
pretty
soon
with
with
these
guys
is
out
of
all
animals
that
have
been
tested.
The
barn
owl
has
the
best
hearing
okay,
so
they
have
really
good
hearing,
because
they're
hearing
in
owls
are
actually
they're
one
of
their
most
important
senses.
K
A
lot
of
people
think
it's
eyesight
eyesight
is
important,
so
they
don't
crash
into
things
when
they're
flying,
but
their
hearing
is
more
important
in
order
to
find
their
food
because
their
food's
not
going
to
be
out
in
the
open
where
they
can
see
it.
It's
going
to
be
hiding,
so
these
guys
can
use
that
hearing
to
hear
a
little
mouse
or
a
golfer
screwing,
underneath
some
some
leaves
or
grasses
and
can
actually
pinpoint
exactly
where
that
sound's.
K
Coming
from
what
gives
her
better
hearing
than
us
is
one,
her
ears
are
quite
large
compared
to
the
size
of
her
head.
She's
got
big
two
big
holes
on
the
side
of
her
head.
You
can't
really
see
them
because
they
are
behind
those
feathers,
but
also
the
other
big
difference
between
her
ears
and
ours
is
her.
Ears
are
asymmetrical,
so
she
has
one
up
high
and
one
down
low.
Okay.
Now
we
wouldn't
really
want
areas
like
that.
K
Well,
we,
but
it
would
give
us
better
hearing
because
they
can
actually
pinpoint
where
that
sound
is
coming
from.
So
when
we
hear
noises,
we
can
say
it's
coming
from
that
general
area,
but
again
she
can
go
boom.
It's
right
there
swoop
down
and
grab
a
mouse
without
even
able
to
be
having
to
even
see
it.
Okay,
so
again,
hearing
is
very
important
to
those
guys.
K
Her
coloring
is
also
different
than
a
lot
of
the
other
owls,
because
again
she
likes
to
be
big,
Open
Fields,
because
there's
a
lot
more
of
those
kind
of
dry
grasses
like
around
here.
This
is
perfect
habitat
for
them,
but,
like
I
mentioned,
they
will
live
close
and
by
you
is
because
we
produce
a
lot
of
garbage
and
they're
not
eating
the
garbage
that
we're
putting
out
there
but
they're
eating
the
animals.
Our
garbage
is
attracting.
K
So
these
guys,
like
I
mentioned,
are
the
most
common
owl
and
these
are
the
ones
that
make
that
screeching
screaming
noise
at
night
time
and
I
almost
think.
Sometimes.
Maybe
that's
where
kind
of
ghost
stories
come
from
because
one
they
like
abandon
old
buildings
right
because
it's
a
nice
shelter
and
that
they
can
be
in
to
protect
them
from
the
elements
and
two
they're
very
white
I,
know
she's
kind
of
yellowish
on
the
outside,
but
at
night,
when
you
see
the
underside,
it
looks
pretty
white
against
the
night
sky
and
they
make
that
scary.
K
K
I
know.
I
talked
a
lot
about
her
because
I
don't
want
to
pretend
that
I
was
an
expert
on
the
burrowing
owls
when
we
had
the
real
expert
in
the
room
over
here.
No,
no
questions
about
her;
okay,
oh
yes,
oh
he's,
gonna
be
in
the
mic
or
microphone.
L
Is
this
so
these
owls
have
that
different
shape
of
eyeball
that
a
lot
of
owls
have
and
if
so,
if
they
don't
use
their
Vision
that
much?
What
is
the
reason
they
would
need
that
telescopic
Vision
very.
K
Good
because
I
didn't
really
talk
about
her
eyes,
so
she
does
have
similar
eye
structure
to
all
the
other
owls,
where
her
eyes
are
cylinder,
shaped
they're,
very
long
tubes
within
their
head,
they're
they're,
pretty
much
their
face
is
just
eyeballs
and
a
beak.
That's
it.
Everything
else
is
just
all
feathers,
so
owls
do
have
really
good
eyesight,
because
again
they
are
hunting
when
there's
low
light
around.
So
those
big
kind
of
like
cylinder
eyes
allow
it
for
a
lot
more
light
to
be
able
to
come
into
the
eyes.
K
We
have
cones
and
rods
in
their
eyes,
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
that
I
know
which
one's
better
for
vision
or
anything
but
I
know
they
have
more
of
the
one
that
helps
them
see
more
kind
of
details
and
stuff.
We
have
one
that
helps
us
see
more
colors,
because
color
is
important
to
us.
It's
not
as
important
to
those
owls,
but
because
of
the
shape
of
their
eyes
being
big
cylinders.
They
can't
rotate
their
eyes
at
all
in
their
head.
K
That's
why
they
have
to
turn
their
heads
in
order
to
look,
look
and
see
what's
around
them
now
they
can't
turn
their
heads
all
the
way
around,
though,
because
they
would
have
no
neck
attaching
their
head
onto
their
body,
so
their
head
would
pop
off
and
Roll
On
The
Ground,
not
a
good
adaptation,
but
they
can
turn
their
heads
three
quarters
of
the
way
around
because
they
have
twice
as
many
bones
in
their
neck
than
we
do.
We
have
seven,
they
have
14.
so
again.
K
The
eyesight,
though,
is
more
important
when
they're
flying
at
low
light,
so
again,
they're
not
crashing
into
stuff.
They
also
do
have
a
special
membrane
in
their
eye
as
well.
That
acts
like
a
mirror
again,
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
to
be
able
to
I
always
try
to
say
that
word
and
I
never
can.
It
starts
with
a
lutissimus
yeah,
there's
a
there's,
a
very
hard
word
to
say,
but
that's
what
that
membrane's
called
we'll
just
leave
it
at
that,
but
it
acts
like
a
mirror.
So
a
lot
of
nocturnal
animals
have
this.
K
So
if
you
ever
go
outside
at
night,
you
shine
a
flashlight
around
you
hit
an
animal's
eyes.
They
look
like
they're
glowing
back
at
you,
they're
not
actually
glowing
they're
reflecting
that
light
back.
So
again
it
helps
these
animals
that
need
to
see
in
low
light
situations
it
bounces
off
that
membrane.
It
amplifies
that
light
so
again
gives
them
the
better
sight
and,
like
I,
said
I
know,
the
hearing
is
more
important,
but
again
you
still
want
to
be
able
to
see.
K
So
you
don't
crash
into
anything
and
just
like
everything,
you
do
need
light
in
order
to
be
able
to
see
so
even
a
owl
with
great
vision,
they
can't
see
in
a
space
vacuum
of
time
or
everything's.
All
there's
no
light
present
at
all.
You
do
need
some
light
and
that's
why
those
membranes
kind
of
help
amplify
that.
Luckily
there's
light
on
around
all
the
time,
such
as
the
moon
creates,
light
and
stars.
K
As
you
can
imagine,
we
are
going
to
bring
out
a
bigger
Bird
right
now,
even
though
birds
in
general
are
very
light,
they're
a
lot
smaller
than
they
look
like
so
they're,
mostly
feathers,
and
this
bird's
no
exception
she's
about
just
a
little
bit
over
around
three
pounds,
but
she
is
still
going
to
be
a
big
bird,
she's,
actually
kind
of
retired.
She
doesn't
go
out
to
many
events,
anymore,
she's,
very
old.
K
We
got
her
I
forgot
when
it
was,
but
we've
had
her
for
she's
over
25
years
old
and
that's
the
average
life
expectancy
of
these
guys
but
they're,
a
very
common
one
that
you'll
see,
especially
because
they're
out
during
the
daytime.
So
maybe
that's
when
you
go
outside
today,
you
can
look
up
the
skies.
K
You
might
see
one
they're,
not
as
common
as
some
birds,
because
you
only
see
one
or
two
because,
like
I
mentioned
she's
a
bird
of
prey
they
just
like
to
be
by
themselves
or
with
their
mate
and
that's
pretty
much
about
it.
K
Yeah
she's
getting
her
out
it
takes.
It
takes
a
little
bit.
She
likes
to
come
out
of
her
kind
of
so
sometimes
she
just
kind
of
like
darts
out.
So
that's
why
Olivia's
taking
her
time
to
be
very
careful
with
her,
so
she
comes
out
gracefully
because
her
injury
has
nothing
to
do
with
her
flight.
She
is
fully
flighted,
unlike
the
the
first
two
birds
that
that
you
saw
at
the
Wildlife
Center,
probably
the
most
common
reason
why
we
can't
release
a
bird
is
usually
due
to
them
not
being
able
to
fly.
K
Wing
injuries
are
the
hardest,
depending
on
what
the
cut.
What
the
problem
is.
It
depends
whether
we
can
help
them
when
Birds
break
their
bones
at
the
joints.
Unfortunately,
there's
not
much,
we
can
do
because
by
keeping
that
bone
still,
so
it
can
heal
those
joints
calcifying
because
they
need
to
be
stretched
and
moved.
So
when
the
bones
are
broken
kind
of
mid-shaft
and
we
can
put
pins
in
it
to
hold
those
bones
together,
all
right,
let's
meet
waupica
well
Pika
means
spirited
woman,
which
is
definitely
her.
K
This
is
a
red-tailed
hawk,
okay,
so
again,
a
very
common
bird
of
prey
that
you
will
see
out
here
soaring
around
searching
for
her
prey.
These
guys
are
majority,
eat
more
mammals,
so
they're
going
to
go
after
those
ground,
squirrels
they'll
go
after
rabbits.
They
also
will
eat
reptiles
as
well.
They
will
go
after
snakes,
even
those
rattlesnakes,
okay,
even
though
rattlesnakes
are
kind
of
scary,
but
there's
a
lot
of
animals
out
there
that
that
do
eat
them,
so
they
actually
do
have
kind
of
a
hard
life
but
yeah
red
tail
hawks.
K
As
you
can
imagine,
they
do
have
that
reddish
color
tail,
but
they
don't
get
that
red
tail
until
they're
about
two
years
old.
So
sometimes
you
might
see
a
hawk
flying
around
you're
like
oh,
it
has
a
brown
tail,
it's
not
a
red
tail,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
red
tails
are
the
largest
Hawk
that
we
do
have
around
here
now.
The
reason
why
we
have
her
and
she's
not
out
in
the
wild
again
it's
another
unfortunate
story
because,
like
Bernadette,
somebody
hurt
her
on
purpose.
K
So
these
guys
normally
go
after
live
I
pray
right,
but
they
are
opportunistic
if
they're
having
a
hard
time
hunting
or
they
do
see
some
a
dead
animal,
they
will
go
down
and
eat
that
carry-on
as
well,
but
again
they
prefer
fresh
food.
Well,
one
day
over
on
Pacheco
pass,
she
was
kind
of
feeling
hungry.
She
was
actually
eating
some
roadkill
on
the
side
of
the
road,
where
a
truck
actually
saw
her
and
decided.
It
would
be
a
really
fun
idea
to
Swerve
off
the
road
and
try
to
hit
her.
K
So
again,
this
truck
swerved
off
and
as
she's
flying
up
actually
made
contact
and
hit
her.
We
knew
that
happened
because
the
car
behind
witnessed
it.
He
wrote
down
the
license.
Plate
number
of
the
truck
picked
her
up
and
brought
her
into
the
Wildlife
Center.
He
did
try
to
press
charges,
but
again
it
was
his
word
against
another,
the
other
guy's
word.
So,
unfortunately,
nothing
was
done,
and
so
we
got
her.
K
She
had
lots
of
broken
bones,
but
luckily
there
was
nothing
at
the
Joint,
so
they
were
able
to
heal
really
well
and
she
was
still
able
to
maintain
her
flight
now
the
cause
why
she
can't
go
back
out
to
the
Wild
and
is
she
actually
is
now
blind
in
her
right
eye?
She
has
her
bad
eye
this
way,
so
it
might
be
a
little
bit
hard
to
see,
but
if
you
do
get
a
chance
to
look
at
her
right
eye,
she
has
it
almost
looks
like
there's
clouds
in
there.
K
She
can
no
longer
see
from
that
side
and,
as
you
may
know,
Hawks
really
rely
on
their
eyesight.
That
is
their
main
important
sense.
So,
with
the
owls
it's
more
of
their
hearing,
these
guys
are
more
their
eyesight.
When
they're
flying
up
looking
kind
of
down,
they
see
the
movement
of
their
prey
to
be
able
to
swoop
down
and
go
and
get
being
that
she
is
blinding
the
one
eye.
She
doesn't
even
fly
straight
anymore,
so
at
the
Lilac
Center
she
is
an
enclosure
where
she
can
fly
around.
K
We
try
to
put
her
in
our
big
flight
Aviary
when
we
had
room
for
it.
We
do
have
big
big
aviers
for
When.
Animals
need
to
get
those
muscles
up
to
be
able
to
fly.
She
does
not
do
well
in
the
big
enclosures,
because
the
eyesight
she
ends
up
crashing
into
things
and
she
actually
has
broken
a
bone
a
few
times.
So,
unfortunately,
she
can
be
very
reluctant
to
put
her
in
our
bigger
enclosure.
She
does
better
in
the
smaller
area,
but
she
flies
in
half
circles.
K
She
doesn't
fly
in
a
straight
line,
so
you
can
imagine
releasing
a
bird
like
this.
That
can't
really
kind
of
tell
where
things
are
not
going
to
be
not
going
to
work
out
very
well.
So
that
is
why
we
do
have
her
currently,
like
I
mentioned
with
Bernadette,
that
we
do
use
animal
our
educational
animals
as
surrogate
parents
waupika.
Here
she
actually
has
a
baby
in
with
her
right
now,
she's
on
a
break
I
took
her
out,
took
her
away
from
her
baby.
K
She
doesn't
have
as
much
maternal
instincts
as
some
of
our
other
birds.
We
have
a
great
horned
owl
as
well
and
she's.
Actually,
this
is
was
it
seven
eight
she's
on
her
eighth
baby
right
now?
Luckily,
the
other
ones
are
a
little
bigger
they're
in
our
big
flight
Avia.
So
she
has
three:
is
it
three
little
ones
right
currently
with
her
here?
She
has
three
of
them
currently
in
there
and
she
has
the
best
motherly
Instinct
of
all
our
educational
animals.
K
So
you
can
always
check
out
our
social
media
on
Facebook.
We
have
some
great
videos
of
her
taking
care
of
her
babies.
I
haven't
caught
her
are
doing
it.
She
pretty
much
just
sits
there
she's
kind
of
the
deadbeat
mom,
but
at
least
at
least
her
presence
is
more
important.
That's
what
we
really
care
about.
We
have
another
great
Great
Horn.
Another
red
tail
hawk
baby
that
came
into
us
two
days
ago
and
So
eventually
be
moved
in
with
her
with
the
other
baby.
K
The
reason
we
don't
move
them
right
away
is
they
do
have
to
go
and
quarantine
to
kind
of
make
sure
that
everything's,
okay
with
the
baby,
make
sure
he
doesn't
have
anything
because
we
don't
want
to
get
you
know
her
sick
or
the
other
youngsters
sick
as
well.
So
that's
probably
her
main
job
at
the
Y
Center,
like
I,
said
she
is
kind
of
retired.
She
doesn't
come
out
as
much
to
event
she
does
get
out
at
the
center
because
it's
not
fair
for
these
animals
to
be
stuck
in
in
their
enclosures
all
the
time.
K
So
we
have
some
volunteers
and
Olivia
here,
taking
her
out
on
walks,
not
like
a
dog
on
kind
of
a
leash
or
anything
like
that,
just
kind
of
how
she
has
her,
but
she
changes
scenery
just
kind
of
walking
around,
so
they
can
see
different
things
because
we
really
it's
unfortunate.
These
birds
are
these.
Animals
are
stuck
in
captivity
again,
that's
not
our
main
purpose,
but
again
they
do
help
us
out
by
getting
them
back
out
into
the
wild
and
on
average,
like
I
mentioned
I.
K
Think
I
mentioned
these
guys
live
about
25
years
and
she
is
over
that.
So
we
don't
know,
but
again,
that's
just
an
average,
so
in
captivity
they
tend
to
live
a
little
bit
longer
because
they
don't
have
to
worry
about.
You
know
fighting
for
food
or
territories,
because
red
tail
hawks
are
very
territorial.
Red
shoulder
Hawks
are
another
very
common
Hawk
that
we
you'll
see
around
here.
Those
ones.
K
If
you
hear
a
hawk,
that's
just
very
noisy
more
than
likely
it's
going
to
be
those
red
shoulders,
they're
smaller
than
these
guys
they're
more
of
a
bird
eating
type
of
Hawk,
but
you
will
see
them
die
bombing,
these
guys
kind
of
trying
to
drive
them
out
of
the
territory.
In
fact,
you
see
a
lot
of
Birds
trying
to
drive.
You
know
attack
the
poor
red
tail
hawks.
They
have
a
hard
crows,
blackbirds
things
like
that
again,
they're,
just
pushing
them
out
of
the
way,
because
again
these
are
predatory
animals.
K
So
they're
like
hey,
let's,
you
know
stay
away
from
our
families,
so
they
do
get
pushed
around
a
lot
a
lot,
even
though,
like
I
mentioned,
these
guys
are
mostly
a
mammal
eating
bird
of
prey
for
or
their
eyes
their
versus,
because
the
owls
we
mentioned
are
big
cylinders
in
their
head.
Her
eyes
aren't
aren't
like
that.
They
do
have
a
little
bit
more
movement.
Like
I
said
the
owls
can't
move
their
eyes
these
guys,
along
with
Falcons.
They
see
best
at
45
degree
angles.
K
So
that's
why,
if
you
ever
notice,
you
see
these
birds
kind
of
flying
above
the
sky,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
them
like
tilting
their
heads
because
again
they're
trying
to
focus
and
kind
of
look
on
look
on
the
ground
for
their
prey,
because
again,
they're
not
going
after
the
birds
in
the
air
like
some
of
like
the
peregrine
falcons.
Those
guys
are
going
after
fast-moving
things,
so
they
gotta
be
quick
with
their
speed
she's
going
with
more
stuff
on
the
ground.
K
We
do
get
a
lot
of
people
get
concerned
about
them
going
after
their
cats
and
dogs.
So,
even
though
she's
a
pretty
big
bird
again
she's
a
lot
lighter
than
she
looks
unless
you
have
a
really
tiny,
you
know
animal,
but
it's
still
not
very
common
for
them
to
go
after
our
pets.
It's
not
a
normal
diet
for
them
the
times
when
animals
take
more
risks
than
going
after
things
that
aren't
normal
for
them
is
usually,
if
they're
struggling
out
in
the
wild
unfortu.
K
Really
a
lot
of
hawks,
don't
make
it
past
the
second
year
because
of
you
know
they're.
They
have
to
really
really
be
really
good
at
hunting
right
in
order
to
feed
themselves.
So
a
lot
of
times
we
will
get
Hawks
in
that
are
just
young
not
flying,
usually
because
they
are
very
thin
and
they
just
don't
have
the
energy
anymore.
So
for
those
guys
at
the
center,
we
of
course
plump
them
up.
We
do
put
them
in
our.
K
You
know
big
flight
aviaries
to
build
up
the
only
time
that
we
have
to
feed
our
animals
live.
Food
is
kind
of.
We
will
put
live
mice
in
those
enclosures.
So
again
they
can
help
develop
those
skills,
and
then
we
have
to
release
them
back
out
in
a
while
and
hope
that
they
learn
something
a
lot
of
them
call
it
now
school
right.
They
gotta
they
gotta,
be
taught
something
so
her
babies
will
go
through
that
process
too,
especially
because
they
came
in
as
a
baby.
K
But
again
those
are
some
common
reasons
why
we
get
them
yeah
we
get
them
hit
by
cars
too,
as
well,
unfortunately,
but
again,
depending
on
what
damage
that
did.
Sometimes
it's
just
a
minor
concussion.
Those
are
the
lucky
ones
that
get
to
get
put
back.
But
again
our
goal
is
try
to
help
as
many
as
we
can
to
kind
of
help.
Those
ones
that
weren't
able
to
be
saved
all
right,
we'll
put
we'll
Pika
back
she's
been
actually
behaving
herself
really
really
well.
K
Thank
you.
Papika,
like
it's,
been
a
while,
since
she's
been
been
out
to
a
outside
of
WRC.
She
usually
it's
kind
of
funny
because
she
doesn't
travel
as
well
anymore.
That's
when
we
stopped
taking
her
far
distances
and
I
found
that
the
places
that
tend
to
drive
farther
because
we're
all
the
way
down
to
Morgan
Hill
the
places
that
we
have
to
drive
a
farther
distance.
She
seems
to
be
a
lot
better
behaved
versus
when
the
short
distance
should
we
get
her
out
she's
all
tangled
up
in
that
line.
K
So
I
don't
know
what
her
deal
is.
She
knows
where
she's
going
I
guess,
but
again
she
gives
a
happy
little
break
from
from
her
baby
and
soon
to
be
two
babies.
So
the
next
bird
that
we're
gonna
bring
out
yes,
I,
say
a
bird
because
you
know
WRC.
We
deal
a
lot
with
birds
of
prey
this
next.
One
technically
is
not
a
bird
of
prey
because
he
doesn't
go
after
live
food.
That
might
be
a
big
hint.
K
What
he
is
so
he's
pretty
large
as
well:
Weight
Wise
he's
pretty
close
to
waupika
he's
still
in
the
three
pound
range
and
again,
even
though
he's
huge
again,
they
want
to
be
nice
and
light,
so
they
are
three
pounds
but
again
holding
it
on
your
hand,
get
pretty
heavy.
That's
why
we
have
a
little
cheat
stand
over
here.
She's
gonna
get
him
out,
and
he
kind
of
has
a
cool
story
too,
because
he
came
to
the
center
on
his
own.
So
no
one
brought
him
into
us
and
I'll
tell
you
why?
K
That's
probably
not
a
complete
coincidence,
most
birds
of
prey
and
like
we
talk
about
with
the
owls,
their
hearing
is
more
important
than
their
eyesight
with
Hawks.
Their
eyesight
is
the
most
important
and
with
this
next
one
being
that
he's
going
to
go
after
dead
things,
things
that
aren't
alive
he's
a
scavenger,
his
eyesight's
not
going
to
be
super
important
I
mean
he
needs
to
be
able
to
see
right,
but
he
doesn't
have
to
look
for
something
scurrying
around,
but
he
actually
has
a
sense
of
smell.
K
Okay,
where
other
birds
of
prey
do
not
have
a
sense
of
smell,
so
the
hawk
the
owl,
they
can't
smell.
Anything,
in
fact,
there's
a
great
horned
owl,
which
is
another
common
owl
around
here
they'll
eat
skunks,
because
the
skunk
has
no
defense
against
them.
So
again,
there's
always
animals
that
eat
every.
You
know
all
the
different
types,
but
he
really
relies
on
smell
to
find
that
food.
K
That's
rotting,
can
you
guys
guess
what
kind
of
bird
it
is
a
vulture,
very
good
he's
very
big,
as
you
can
probably
hear
him
coming
out,
especially
when
he
hits
the
sun
his
wings
come
out,
so
sometimes
it
makes
a
little
bit
trickier
getting
him
to
doors
while
he
put
him
his
wings,
his
wings
down
all
right.
So
this
is
Zorro
and
he
is
indeed
a
turkey
vulture
I'm
sure
you
guys
all
seen
these
guys
right
yeah,
so
these
are
even
more
commonly
seen
than
the
red
tail
hawks.
K
The
reason
why
they're
more
commonly
seen
too
is
because
you
usually
will
see
more
than
one
of
them.
You
can
see
them
by
themselves,
but
these,
unlike
the
other
birds
that
we
saw,
got
kind
of
well
Tara,
the
burrowing
owl.
These
guys
are
a
community
bird.
He
is
also
a
community
bird.
So
that's
why
you
see
them
in
larger
numbers.
The
reason
again
we
have
him
why
he
even
came
to
our
Center.
To
begin
with
is
we
did
get
a
phone
call
that
there
was
a
young
vulture?
K
Oh
he's,
gonna
go
to
the
bathroom,
oh
good.
He
didn't
just
don't
hit
me,
so
he
we
got
a
phone
call
about
a
young
vulture
that
was
found
on
the
side
of
the
road
down
by
our
Center
a
lot
of
times.
Only
we
don't
necessarily
go
out
to
animal
calls
unless
there's
somebody
there
with
them,
because
the
problem
is
people
just
call
us
and
say:
oh
there's
a
bird
over
here
that
can't
fly
by
the
time
we
get
there.
K
You
know
we're
well
where'd
the
bird
go
because
even
though
Birds
can't
fly
AI,
they
can
still
move
around
and
hide
because
they
want
to
try
to
hide
as
best
as
they
can,
but
because
he
was
so
close,
we
did
go
out
and
go
and
try
to
find
this
young
bird
that
was
hit
by
a
car
could
not
find
him.
So
we
had
to
give
up
go
back
to
the
center.
It
wasn't.
It
was
about.
A
week
later,
a
young
vulture
came
walking
down
the
driveway
of
WRC.
K
Now
the
reason
why
he
did
that
is
because
we
had
other
vultures
in
Care
at
the
time,
so
we're
feeding
dead
animals
out
to
them,
and
he
probably
smelt
that
food
and
being
he
can't
fly
to
other
sources.
He
probably
was
following
you
know
following
his
nose,
so
he
actually
coaxed
them
into
an
enclosure
and
our
vet
worked
with
him
tried
to
fix
his
wing.
Unfortunately,
it
did
not
work.
So
when
you
see
him
open
his
wings,
you
might
see
the
one
wing
suit
straight
up
in
the
air.
K
K
You
see
them
kind
of
circling
around
usually
a
lot
of
times.
If
they
find
some
food,
they
don't
have
the
sharp
beak
or
sharp
talons
like
other
birds
of
prey,
like
the
hawk
that
we
saw
and
those
owls.
So
they
actually,
even
though
I
don't
recommend
getting
bit
by
one.
He
likes
to
bite
fingers.
So
if
you
get
your
fingers
over
there,
you
can
feel
what
it
feels
like
just
kidding
just
kidding
about
sticking
your
fingers
I.
K
Don't
recommend
that,
but
no
it
does
hurt,
but
he's
not
going
to
do
the
same
damage
as
like
a
hawk
or
or
an
owl,
and
even
those
guys
it's
the
talons
that
are
more
important.
K
That's
their
first
line
defense,
but
after
flying
so-
and
these
guys
have
to
wait
for
their
food
to
ripen
up
kind
of
before
they
can
come
in
to
go
and
eat
they
can't
just
they
don't
have
that
that
pulling
mechanism
with
their
feet
or
anything
if
you
notice
his
feet,
are
more
flat,
they're
more
designed
for
walking,
because
they
do
walk
a
lot
on
the
ground
kind
of
moving
around
finding
finding
their
food
over
there.
K
So
if
you
ever
did
come
across
a
vulture
that
wasn't
able
to
fly
away,
be
warned
their
self-defense
is
to
vomit.
Okay.
Now
you
sound
like
like
that,
doesn't
sound
like
a
good
defense.
Oh
trust
me.
It
is
very
a
good
defense
again.
These
guys
are
eating
gross
rotting.
Bacteria
ridden
could
have
diseases,
food
right,
and
so
they
get
spooked.
That
is
going
to
come
right
out
into
whatever's.
Spooking
there's
face
right
and
that
will
deter
me.
K
Trust
me:
I
have
I,
have
a
story
because
again
we
do
get
these
guys
that
come
in
rehab.
Obviously,
it's
a
very
stressful
situation
for
them,
so
we
got
to
be
very
careful
when
we
feed
them
versus
when
we
can
handle
them
to
examine
or
give
medication.
I
was
a
lucky
one
that
got
to
hold
one
vulture
one
time
while
we're
doing
exam
and
of
course
he
did
exactly
what
we
thought
he
was
going
to
do.
K
He
threw
up,
of
course,
I
wore
a
trash
bag
to
make
sure
I
didn't
get
anything
on
me
because
once
that
gets
on
you
I
don't
care
how
many
times
you
scrub
and
wash
that
off
that
smell
and
it
smells
for
quite
a
while,
but
of
course,
as
vulture
decided
to
shake
his
head
and
so
piece
of
that,
vomit
went
right
up
into
my
nose
and
I'm
holding
it
with
gloves
everything
over
it.
Luckily,
I
had
somebody
there
that
was
such
a
good
friend
to
me.
They'd
help
me
pick
my
nose
for
me.
K
So
that's
a
true
friendship
right.
There
save
me
and
I
smelled
that
vulture
vomit
for
I,
don't
know
like
a
month
like
it
was
just
embedded
in
there.
It's
pretty
gross,
so
don't
get
vomited
on.
If
you
take
anything
away
from
today,
don't
get
vomited
on
by
a
turkey
vulture
speaking
of
nose,
if
you
notice
something
that
looks
very
strange,
very
different
with
him
versus
the
other
birds,
you
can
see
straight
through
his
Nair,
his
nostril.
Okay,
there
is
a
purpose.
These
guys
are
perfectly
designed
for
eating
carry-on
eating
dead
things
Okay.
K
The
reason
why
that
hole
goes
all
the
way
through
is
because,
if
he
has
his
head
down
in
that
carcass
and
he
gets
meat
or
Gunk
stuck
in
it,
it's
just
gonna
pop
out
the
other
side.
Okay,
so
again,
so
he
can
still
be
able
to
eat
and
everything
and
not
have
to
not
pass
out
from
not
being
able
to
breathe.
K
Also
you'll
notice
on
these
guys,
as
they
have
no
feathers
on
their
head
and
that's
a
very
important
reason,
because
again
putting
their
head
in
that
carcass,
they
don't
want
all
that
meat
and
Gunk
stuck
on
their
feathers.
That
would
just
make
a
big
gooey
mess.
So
it's
a
lot
easier
to
keep
clean.
You
will
also
see
these
vultures
a
lot
of
times
sitting
out
in
the
sun,
with
their
wings
out,
like
I
mentioned,
when
the
Sun
hits
him,
those
wings
straight
go
out
and
there's
a
purpose
one.
K
The
sun
kind
of
helps
them
digest
their
food,
but
also
the
UV
light
of
UV
rays
too
help
kill
any
bacteria
they
might
got
on
their
feathers
and
everything
for
them
and
you
wonder
being
that
they
eat
all
that
gross
stuff
that
might
have
died
and
stuff.
You
think
they
would
be
very
an
animal
that
got
sick
a
lot
well
again,
because
they
are
a
scavenger
they're
designed
for
eating
that
stuff.
K
They
do
have
a
stronger
stomach
acid,
which
is
again
why
you
don't
want
them
vomiting
on
you,
which
helps
them,
kill
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
would
make
us
sick.
So
these
guys
help
stop
the
spread
of
disease.
That's
why
these
guys
are
so
important
to
have
around
and
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
you
guys
are
probably
familiar
with
California
Condors
right
so
they're
in
the
same
family,
as
these
guys
are
just
a
lot
less
of
them
around,
but
they
also
have
a
similar
job
of
cleaning
clean
up
our
environment.
K
Luckily,
in
California
they
have
put
a
ban
on
lead
bullets
because
before
I
think
you
can
still
get
use
them,
but
you
can't
buy
them
so
until
they
kind
of
run
out
of
the
supply,
they
are
still
out
there
because
we
have
actually
gotten
in
a
few
vultures
that
have
had
lead
poisoning.
Because
what
happens?
K
If
people
are
out
hunting,
they
might
shoot
an
animal
who
gets
the
the
lead
embedded
into
them
and
they
might
die
where
the
hunter
can't
find
it,
and
these
guys,
of
course,
they're
going
to
find
it
and
they
can
ingest
it
and
get
some
of
that
that
lead
inside
of
them.
Also
the
leg
can
leach
into
our
waterways
as
well.
So
that's
why?
Luckily,
they
have
a
band
on
it
to
kind
of
help
preserve.
You
know
our
our
wildlife
and
our
environment.
K
That's
what
also
really
happened
with
those
Condors
why
there
are
numbers
drop
down
so
much,
but
usually
a
lot
of
times
too,
when
we
get
these
wild
animals
in
it's
really
hard
to
know
exactly
what's
going
on
with
them,
because
they
can't
talk
to
us
and
I
swear.
Everything
has
the
same
symptoms
kind
of
like
within
people
right
like
it
could
be
this.
K
It
could
be
that
they
all
have
the
same
symptoms,
but
there
is
a
test
that
you
can
test
their
blood
to
see
the
levels
if
there's
any
the
metal
poisoning
and
cut
them
inside
of
them.
So
luckily
we
haven't
gotten
in
one
in
a
while
that
had
the
lead
poisoning,
but
if
you
have
come
through
our
center
now,
the
biggest
problem
is
rodenticide
poisoning,
because
again
we
put
a
poison
out
to
because
we
get
so
fresher
with
those
rats
and
mice
and
golfers
they're.
K
So
close
to
our
house,
we
put
those
poisons
out
and
it
poisons
the
whole
environment.
I
mean
that's
what
this
guy
eats
dead
things
right,
so
you
do
your
job.
You
killed
what
you
wanted
to
kill,
but
then
he'll
go
and
eat.
That
and
he
ingests
out
that
toxins
as
well,
along
with
other
animals,
even
people's
cats
and
dogs
come
across
that
poison.
So
that's
kind
of
the
next
step
to
kind
of
come
up
with
a
better
solution
than
putting
the
poisons
out
into
our
environment.
Luckily
there
is
another
there's,
a
group
called
rats.
K
Raptors
are
the
solution
and
they
actually
came
up
with
rodent
birth
control
and
that
seems
kind
of
silly,
but
it's
actually
one
dose
lasts
for
30
days,
but
again
the
and
it's
they
can
eat
as
much
as
they
kind
of
they
want,
but
it
prevents
them
from
reproducing
which
in
turn
brings
down
that
population.
There
was
a
lot
of
studies
done
on
it.
They
couldn't
see
any
secondary
effects
in
the
animals
that
ate
a
mouse
that
had
that.
So
that's
something
to
look
into
I
think
it
just
recently
came
came
to
Market.
K
It
was
a
very
long
time
in
making.
But
again
there
are
solutions
out
there
that
are
much
better
than
putting
poisons
out
even
insecticide
poisoning
for
for
insects.
That's
by
spraying
your
yards
or
those
fields
you're
also
affecting
the
wildlife
I
know
the
the
Falcons.
A
lot
of
the
birds
of
prey
were
really
affected
back
in
the
70s
right
DDT,
with
putting
the
insecticides
out
there.
K
We
do
get
songbirds
and
some
corvids
some
jays
that
come
into
our
Center
that
are
showing
that
show
signs
of
insecticide
poisoning
because
again
people
spray
for
bugs
and
those
animals
might
eat
the
bugs
and
again
they
get
poisoned.
Oh
that's
another
fascinating
fact
about
vultures.
They're
also
they're
such
a
unique
bird
that,
unlike
most
birds
when
they
go
to
the
bathroom,
you
usually
see
a
white
part
with
a
little
dark
with
a
dark
brown
or
green
center.
That's
the
urates
and
nitrates
right.
Well.
K
These
guys
can
actually
separate
the
uracy
nitrate,
so
they
can
basically
separate
their
urine
for
fecal
matter.
So
on
hot
days,
the
cool
off
they
will
purposely
urinate
on
their
own
legs
and
again
helps
them,
keep
cool
and
also
supposedly
I.
Don't
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me,
but
supposedly
have
some
antibacterial.
You
know
effects
to
it
too.
I
don't
know
it's
still
pretty
gross,
but
that's
why
it
might
be
hard
to
see
on
him,
but
his
legs
look
a
little
pale.
You
can
kind
of
seem
almost
like
around
like
some
of
the
skin.
K
K
But
again
we
these
guys
again
do
live
in
those
big
family
groups
when
we
get
them
in
so
with
Zorro
here
he
he
has
wild
buddies.
So,
even
though
he
can't
fly
when
we
have
space
in
our
big
Aviator
area,
we'll
put
him
in
there.
That's
because
it
gets
more
sunlight.
Like
I
mentioned
these
guys,
love
Sun,
that's
why
he
loves
going
on
his
walks,
because
we
can
go
stand
out
in
the
sun
with
him.
He
loves
that
our
Center
is
up
in
the
hills,
with
lots
of
trees.
K
So
there's
a
lot
of
shade,
so
it's
our
reward
to
him
for
for
that
Sun.
So
when
he
gets
in
the
big
flight
Aviary
all
the
wild
vultures,
you
can
see
all
perching
up
on
the
enclosure.
They're
playing
hey
buddy,
give
us
some
of
that
food.
They
don't
understand
why
he
doesn't
share,
so
he
does
get
to
interact
with
the
Wild
Ones
through
that
way.
Wrc
is
located
on
a
very
small
property
and
we
were
only
temporarily
supposed
to
be
there
since
98
and
we
are
still
there.
K
We
are
actually
working
at
looking
at
the
end
of
this
year,
beginning
of
next
year,
we're
working
with
the
park
system
for
some
property
up
in
the
San
Martin
area,
Gilroy,
technically
up
by
Harvey
bear,
and
so
at
this
a
new
center.
We
could
be
open
to
the
public
and
being
open
to
the
public.
You
know
know
we
can
take
in
more
species
of
animals
for
Education,
because,
like
I
mentioned
these
guys
don't
belong
to
us.
K
They
have
to
come
out
to
programs
and
stuff
for
the
public
to
see
so
many
times
a
year
when
you're
open
to
the
public
you
can
justify
having.
So
he
we
can
have
a
a
buddy
for
him,
so
he
can
have
multiple
ones,
because
it's
really
hard
to
have
two
turkey
vultures
and
try
to
you
know
bring
them
out
to
different
programs.
So
that
will
be
a
good
enrichment
for
him,
but
for
now
he
gets
the
wild
guys.
K
So
again
we
try
to
give
them
the
best
life
that
we
can
obviously
back
in
the
wild
where
they
can
make
their
own
decisions,
and
everything
is
ideal,
but
again
being
that
he
can't
fly.
He
would
not
be
able
to
go
back
there.
So
we're
keeping
our
fingers
crossed
that
this
all
works
out
and
we
get
a
new
center
and
then
we
would
be
open
to
the
public,
so
people
could
actually
come
down.
K
They
can
see
all
of
our
educational
animals
and
our
rehab
part
would
be
a
little
separate
because
that's
the
problem
where
we
are
now
we're
on
small
property,
we're
not
handicapped
accessible,
which
is
a
requirement
to
be
open
to
the
public.
Also
because
we
deal
with
a
lot
of
wild
animals
that
we're
trying
to
get
back
out
into
the
wild.
K
K
We
are
trying
working
on
taking
more
species
because,
like
I
mentioned,
we
particularly
do
birds
with
lots
of
birds,
but
this
last
year
is
the
first
year
that
we
started
taking
on
squirrels
we're
taking
a
little
bit
limited
number
because
we're
still
getting
used
to
how
to
care
for
them.
Because
baby
squirrels
take
a
lot
of
work.
We
normally
take
in
baby
opossums,
which
are
to
me
a
lot
easier
to
take
care
of,
because
opossums
those
guys
don't
get
fed
with
bottles.
You
actually
have.
K
They
have
a
tube
down
into
their
stomach
because
that's
how
they
would
feed
from
Mom
they
actually
latch
on
in
there.
So
it
to
me
is
a
lot
easier
than
having
to
wait
for
them
to
to
drink
from
a
bottle,
but
again
we're
expanding.
We're
trying
to
grow
be
able
to
take
more
species,
but
we
are
selective
because
right
now,
because
again
the
space
and
the
type
of
enclosures
that
we
do
have
does
anybody
have
any
questions.
K
Wrc
is
run
through
donations.
We're
donation
based,
we
don't
get
money,
funding
from
the
state
or
anything.
Sometimes
we
do
get
grants
from
from
different
companies
and
stuff,
especially
to
go
out
to
schools,
do
educational
programs
and
some
other
organizations
for
grants
for
helping
build
enclosures
at
the
yla
center,
because
we
were
only
temporarily
there.
Our
enclosures
aren't
most
state
of
the
art
because
again
they
were
just
kind
of
thrown
together
and
says
so
we
were
able
to
move.
K
We
actually
are
starting
to
get
nicer,
pre-fab
enclosures
for
these
guys,
because
you
can
take
them
down
and
move
them,
unlike
our
old,
our
old
types
of
enclosures.
So
with
this
new
site,
hopefully
you
know
we'll
have
a
welcome
you
guys
out
there.
You
guys
can
come.
Take
a
look
at
you
know
all
the
all
the
native
animals
that
we
have
there.
Yes,
oh
microphone.
K
N
N
Where,
like
you
know,
you
get
the
drink
for
10
bucks
and
then
you
know
you
can
just
pet
like
owls
and
stuff,
but
what's
your
thoughts
on
this?
It's
maybe
like
it's
anti-preservation
and
it
kind
of
yeah.
K
So
again,
everybody
has
different
different
opinions,
so
a
lot
of
other
countries
there
are
like
I
know.
Uk
is
a
big
one.
Where
you'll
see
a
lot
of
these
YouTube
videos
coming
out
with
people
with
you
know
pet
owls
and
like
petting
them.
You
know,
obviously
we're
not
a
fan
of
it.
You
know,
because
again,
these
guys
should
be
wild.
They
have
not
been
domesticated,
but
when
people
see
them
touching
them,
and
everything
like
that,
it
makes
it
like.
K
Oh
I
can
have
them
on
as
a
pet
and
be
like
that'd
be
a
great
pet.
They
don't
realize
all
the
bad
stuff
why
they
don't
make
good
pet
right
and
then
they
might
end
up
with
one
and
they
realize
this
isn't
what
I
signed
up
for
so
again
we're
not
a
fan
of
presenting
them
like
pets.
That's
why
we
try
to
keep
them
as
wild
as
possible.
They
do
used
to
being
out
in
front
of
people
because
it
wouldn't
be
fair
to
bring
an
animal
out
that
just
was
really
uncomfortable.
K
So
that's
pretty
much
as
much
as
we
we
do
for
them.
If
we
were
to
pet
him,
like
I,
said
he'd
bite
your
fingers,
no
hesitation,
even
if
you
just
got
close
enough,
it's
fun
when
I
have
to
get
him
because
they
don't
have
those
tether
everything
on
his
legs.
We
only
put
that
on
so
we
can
bring
them
out
in
a
safe
way.
So
a
lot
of
times
when
I
have
to
go
and
get
him
in
there,
I'll
sometimes
have
to
bring
an
extra
glove
he's.
K
Actually
he
was
really
good
this
morning
and
I
have
to
cover
my
hand
up
so
I
can
get
my
hand
to
kind
of
put
all
that
stuff
on
him
without
him
tasting
my
fingers
and
he's
not
necessarily
doing
it
because
he
doesn't
like
me
or
anything
he's
just
like.
Oh,
this
is
kind
of
these
guys
are
very
intelligent
birds,
they're,
very
smart.
We
do
kind
of
try
to
put
some
puzzle
to
keep
his
mind,
active
and
stuff
kind
of
in
his
closure.
K
K
Yes,
there
are
people
who
do
keep
these
wild
animals
as
pets,
but
that
doesn't
mean
it's
a
good
idea
and
by
showing
people
petting
them,
why
it's
a
really
bad
idea
to
pet
animals,
especially
wild
or
animals
that
would
live
outside.
Is
these
guys
do
have
oils
on
their
feathers
and
when
we're
touching
and
petting
we're
stripping
those
oils
off
and
we're
putting
our
oils
our
bacteria
and
stuff
on,
so
it
breaks
it
down
so
they're,
not
as
weatherproof
as
they
would
be.
K
So
that's
more
important
if
they're
outside,
like
our
animals,
these
guys
do
live
outside
they're,
not
in
our
house
a
lot
of
times.
People
have
pet
birds
and
they
keep
them
inside.
So
you
know
touching
them.
Petting
them
isn't
going
to.
You
know
be
as
life-threatening
as
it
would
be
for
an
animal
that
lives
outside.
It's
also
not
a
very
good
idea
too,
because
us
petting
them
gives
them.
You
know
in
their
depending
on
the
species
of
bird
like
again
I'm
talking
parrot
wise
a
lot
of
times.
K
You
have
to
be
careful
like
even
petting
parrots.
You
can
actually
they
can
actually
start
mistaking
you
as
their
mate,
and
that
causes
a
lot
of
behavioral
problems
and
causes
people
to
get
bit
and
frustration
because
you're
not
fulfilling
your
duties,
so
I
hope
you're
not
anyway.
So
that's
another
thing
to
think
about
again.
I
know,
that's
true
in
parrots,
I,
don't
know
if
that
carries
over
to
other
bird
species,
but
that's
still
another
thing
why
it's
not
a
good
idea
to
pet.
K
C
K
How
it
works
so
Silicon
Valley
Wildlife
Center,
their
separate
yla
Center
for
us.
Are
we
connected?
Yes,
all
Wildlife
centers
are
connected
in
some
way.
So
like
a
lot
of
times.
If
they
get
an
animal
in,
they
don't
have
the
big
flight
aviaries.
So
sometimes
they
will
bring
then
train.
It
gets
transferred
to
our
Center.
If
we
get
animals
in
that
they're
better
suited
for
because
again
we
mostly
do
the
birds.
K
Sometimes
people
have
raccoons
things
like
that,
whether
to
direct
the
person
to
bring
them
up
to
Silicon
Valley
or
have
someone
transported
up
there.
So
they
give
us
a
lot
of
times
because
they
don't
have
educational
animals.
They
only
do
Rehabilitation
right
now
they
used
to
do
education,
but
that's
not
where
the
money
or
the
money
is
in
education.
Rehab
takes
money
away,
but
they
got
big
grant
money.
K
That
said,
if
you
just
do
the
education
or
the
rehab,
you
know
they
they
got
more
funding
that
way,
so
they
had
to
so
now
we're
the
owners
of
the
education.
So
we
have
these
birds
that
can
be
surrogate
parents,
so
they
don't
have
that
so
what
they
do.
Actually.
Quite
a
few
of
the
great
horned
owls
that
we
have
came
through
them,
so
they'll
get
them
in
we
get
transferred
down,
so
we
can
put
them
with
our
educational
animals.
That
makes
sense.
So,
yes,
we're
connected
being
up
in
this
area.
K
That
is
a
closer
Wildlife
Center.
So
you
can
call
you
can
call
us,
you
can
call
them
we're
going
to
direct
you
whoever's
closer.
So
it's
not
a
competition
who
gets
away
animals
or
anything
like
that.
We
want
the
animals
to
get
the
best
care.
They
are
larger.
Like
I
said
they
do
get
a
lot
more
funding.
K
They
get
funding
through
the
state,
so
they're
required
to
take
everything
in,
which
is
why
we
couldn't
get
funding
from
the
state,
because
we
just
don't
have
the
facility
and
the
types
of
enclosures
and
everything
for
that,
we're
hoping
that
changes,
but
for
right
now
we
don't
have
that
and
also
you
have
to
gain
the
knowledge
on
how
to
care
for
these
animals.
So
they
have
that
and
they
take
in
coyotes
everything.
So
again,
that's
why
we
transfer
things
that
we
don't
take
and
then
we
take
things
to
kind
of
help,
help
them
out.
K
O
K
So
when
we
do
get
too
close
because
a
lot
of
times
with
people,
it's
harder
to
see
in
Birds,
it's
more
possible.
Like
mammals,
a
lot
of
times,
people
or
I,
guess
ducks
and
geese
are
another
common
one.
People
want
to
help
so
their
version
of
helping
is
I'm
going
to
go
and
feed
you
right
so
you're
putting
food
out
one.
It
might
not
be
appropriate
diet
for
these
animals
two,
it
gets
them
very
dependent
on
humans.
K
So
again,
if
of
us
being
around
getting
too
close,
we're
just
kind
of
showing
that
humans
shouldn't
be
feared,
and
so
socially
young
they'll
get
so
used
to
people
that
they
might
get
too
close
to
the
wrong
person
type
of
thing.
So
that's
more
the
dangers
of
it.
It's
more
for
the
animal
like
the
burrowing
owls
right.
They
have
a
lot
of
people
around
and
they
get
really
used
to
it.
K
K
It's
kind
of
a
safety
measure,
just
you
can
be
like
I'm,
not
saying
you
can't
like
go
and
look
at
if
you're
standing
here
and
an
animal
comes
walking
near
you,
you
don't
have
to
run
away
the
other
direction,
but
again
also
not
not
spooking
or
scaring
them,
because
even
sometimes
when
they
have
babies,
sometimes
the
animals
try
to
drag
you
away
from
the
area.
Look
like
they're
injured,
like
kill.
Deers
are
a
very
common.
K
When
you
have
those
guys
out
here,
they'll
actually
drag
their
wings
to
drag
you
away
from
their
nest
so
again,
because
that
special
they're
dragging
you
away
from
the
nest
it
makes
it
very
The,
Nest
very
vulnerable
to
something
else
coming
in
before
she
can
get
back.
So
the
longer
we
stay
there,
the
longer
the
mom's
away.
Does
that
kind
of
make
sense,
yeah.
O
The
reason
I
was
asking
is
we
visited
Galapagos
a
couple
years
ago
and
I
found
we
human
actually
co-exist
with
birds
in
there,
because
their
environmental
environment
was
not
Disturbed.
So
if
you
walk
up
to
the
bird,
they
don't
really
fly
away.
They
actually
come
up
to
you.
So
I'm,
just
wondering
you
know
it's.
This
is
kind
of
evolution,
yeah.
K
Because
in
the
Galapagos
too,
there
is
not
very
you
know
it's
more
of
the
tourists
and
stuff
coming
in
and
then
the
feeding,
so
that's
a
more
isolated
area.
So
it's
not
as
detrimental
but
like
here,
there's
a
lot
more
Predators
going
around
and
there's
a
lot
more
people.
So
that
means
they're
going
to
come
into
conflict
with
a
lot
of
different
variety
of
people.
They
can
come
across
the
wrong
person,
but
those
animals
there
is
a
place.
K
We
release
the
hawk
at
down
it's
down
south
a
little
bit
further
San
Bernardino,
that's
not
the
one
in
Southern,
California
I
always
get
the
mixed
up.
County,
but
I
went
there
and
I
was
surprised
they
had.
K
A
All
right,
thank
you,
everybody,
so
if
we
could
have
one
more
round
of
applause
for
Phil
and
for
our
representatives
from
work,
thank
you
so
much
so
the
video
of
today
will
be
on
the
shoreline
webpage.
Mountainview.Gov
Shoreline.
Once
it's
done,
editing
we're
gonna,
try
to
add
in
some
cool
extra
habitat
shots
and
stuff,
so
it
might
take
a
little
longer
to
produce
sorry
Fabian,
but
we're
we're
hopefully
gonna
make
that
happen
and
then
that'll
be
up
there.
A
You
can
also
see
the
one,
the
first
Speaker
presentation
about
the
history
of
Shoreline
landfill
and
the
infrastructure.
That's
currently
up
on
the
webpage.
Now
it's
also
on
the
city's
YouTube
channel
and
on
kmvt's
YouTube
channel
I
wanted
to
remind
everybody
that
we
do
have
our
third
installment
of
the
speaker
series
August
27th,
that
is
going
to
be
a
tour
of
the
sea
level
rise
out
around
Coast
Casey
and
out
by
the
bay,
because
it's
a
tour
and
it's
on
the
trail-
we're
very
limited
in
number
for
that
one.
A
So
please
sign
up
early
if
you
are
interested,
but
please
don't
sign
up.
If
you
don't
think
you
can
make
it
just
to
hold
a
spot,
we
have
to
do
that
in
order
to
limit
the
number
of
people
on
the
trail,
so
that
we
don't
cause
any
safety
issues
while
we're
on
walking
around.
That
will
also
be
filmed,
though.
So,
if
you
can't
make
it
no
worries,
it
will
be
available,
like
the
other
ones,
in
our
series
and
then.
A
Lastly,
as
I
stated
earlier,
our
fourth
speaker
series,
The
Last
installment,
the
culmination
will
be
on
October
15th.
That
will
be
here
again
at
Michael's.
We're
going
to
have
a
panel
and
we're
going
to
kind
of
do
a
whole
recap.
Past
present
future
we
got
a
lot
of
cool
members
of
the
community,
that'll,
be
there,
organizations
having
to
do
with
sea
level
rise
in
habitat
conservation
and
all
of
that,
along
with
some
former
staff
that
can
kind
of
tell
you
the
some
of
the
the
stories
behind
how
Shoreline
was
built.
A
The
movies
that
The
sailing
lake
has
been
in
and
all
sorts
of
fun
stuff
like
that.
So
with
that,
I
also
wanted
to
do
a
quick
plug.
The
sailing
Lake
Bistro
over
on
the
sailing
lake
is
actually
selling
burrowing
owl
cookies
today
and
a
percentage
of
the
proceeds
will
be
going
to
I,
believe
Autobahn,
and
so,
if
you
have
a
chance
to
walk
over
there
and
get
a
brewing
owl,
cookie
they're,
pretty
cool
and
pretty
unique.
A
We
plan
on
having
them
on
sale
a
couple
times
this
year
in
honor
of
the
40th,
and
so
thank
you
to
the
sailing
Lake
in
Silicon
Shores
for
that,
and
so
with
that
we're
going
to
be
packing
up.
If
you
have
any
questions,
you
can
go
check
out
the
again
the
shoreline
webpage,
mountainview.gov
Shoreline,
and
you
can
also
come
talk
to
us
afterwards,
we'll
be
