Join us February 6-7, 2023 for a special symposium focusing on Western burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) sponsored by the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. This two-day symposium will include regional updates, presentations from experts, and group dialogue on a variety of topics related to the species.The geographic scope of discussion on the species and habitat will be California and Nevada, but topics, presentations, and themes will have broader relevance to the entire range of the subspecies. An optional add-on training session focused on burrowing owl biology and ecology, as well as survey techniques and permitting considerations and requirements will be offered on Monday evening for Symposium registrants.
