The baby owls will hatch over the next week or so. Can you take two hours to help? Click here to RSVP: http://www.meetup.com/BoulderOwlPreserve/events/229144431/ As you arrive around 5:30pm, please see the Owl Preserve volunteer team either inside on the lower level or outside the west door. Public comment is not allowed at this meeting so we'll have more than 100 owl sequin masks that we can all wear to encourage City Council to protect the Great Horned Owls. The masks will be free to you and if you are inspired you can make a $2 donation to help fund the Owl Preserve. At 5:45pm we will sit as close as possible to the front so we can be proud advocates for the Great Horned Owls and encourage Council Members and Mayor Elise Jones to vote Yes for the Owl Preserve. http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/a/4/7/600_444991303.jpeg (click hear to view the father Great Horned Owl who is now feeding his partner as she keeps the eggs warm through February. The proximity of the Hunting Meadow is critical for the owl's survival. This photo was also taken at the site of the preserve.) Together, we can find a location for the development that better serves potential residents and allows for the creation of the Boulder Great Horned Owl Preserve at Twin Lakes.
