Hi Tweeters -

[Re-sending with correct subject line.]

I want to thank Roy Myers for the information that he provided regarding the
Burrowing Owl in Pasco (original message subject: burrowing owls back in Pasco,
dated: 26 Jan 2011).

I travelled to Pasco on Saturday and using the directions that Roy provided,
was able to locate the owl very quickly and was able to obtain a photograph.

Here are the original directions from Roy:

A burrowing owl was back at the location next to the on-ramp leading from
Pasco-Kahlotus Road to US Highway 12 west in Pasco, WA at 4:15 PM on Saturday,
1/22/11. The bird was in the usual spot on the Hwy 12 side of the on ramp.

Photographers should note that this location is best visited early in the
morning when the sun is rising as light will be hitting the bird at the best
angle. If you aren't there within the first 2 - 3 hours of sunrise, you'll have
some back lighting to deal with. Also, note that the owl tends to sit on the
wooden "T" post about 1/3 of the way down the ramp on the left hand side as you
approach Hwy 12 going west from Pasco-Kahlotus Road.

Based on the date of Roy's original message, the owl has most likely selected
this location as a permanent home for the summer and should be fairly reliable
when it comes to viewing.

Thanks again Roy!
