"Our" Burrowing Owls
February 17, 2026 Window on Nature Program :
Burrowing Owls Relocation Projects
Come learn more about the Burrowing Owl relocation projects in Yavapai and around the state. Project manager Greg Clark will share stories and images of the owls, describing how we can protect them by moving them from threatened locations to new colonies of man-made burrows. Greg is a professional engineer with an interest in bird conservation, focused on Burrowing Owls. Greg has contributed to breeding bird survey work and bird sound recording since 1994. From 2000 to present his main work has been creating Burrowing Owl artificial burrows and doing active translocation of owls to these burrows as part of Wild At Heart. Greg's work has recently been featured in National Geographic Magazine and Audubon Magazine.
