<snip> A strange occurrence of Burrowing Owl, photographed in a parking garage near the Capitol Building on 8/23, is quite unseasonal and an odd location. <snip> Kenny Anderson Austin /////////////////////////// Hi Texbirds, My first thought is that the Owl was hit and sucked into a vehicle somewhere in Burrowing Owl country. Then the vehicle drove to Austin and parked in the garage. After awhile the trapped Owl managed to escape. Such a scenario is quite possible, it has happened before to critters, including Owls.
