What to do if BmTOwing Owls are present <br />If Burrowing Owls aze confirmed to be present in a prairie dog town, there aze two options before proceeding with <br />planned activities: <br />1. Wait to initiate activities until after November 1 or until it can be confirmed that the owls have left the pruuie <br />dog town <br />2. Carefully monitor the activities of the owls, noting and mazking which burrows they are using the owls may <br />use several burrows in a prairie dog town. This is not easy to accomplish and will require considerable time <br />When all active Burrowing Owl burrows have been located and marked, activity can proceed in azeas greater than <br />150 feet from Burrowing Owl burrows with little danger to the owls Activity closer than I50 feet may endanger <br />the owls. <br />Reference <br />Conway, C J and J.
