[EBB Sightings] fledgling barn owl in Fremont

Charlotte,
If you are interested in barn owls, please check out the Hungry Owl  
Project's web site (www.hungryowl.org). They rehab barn owls,  
including babies. Also, please check out www.kboib.org (Keep Barn  
Owls in Berkeley) when you have a minute! Also, keep an eye out for  
more fallen fledglings...

Best,
Lisa
