Nesting owls throw wrench into bridge job By MATTHIAS GAFNI, Times-Herald, CA
Caltrans' Morton said they will listen to what Fish and Game tells them. And Fish and Game's Kozicki said her department wasn't addressing that federal protection act. Barn owls are not an endangered species.
Regardless, officials were still marveling Tuesday that the family was discovered at all, days before crews planned to lay massive amounts of concrete over the owls' nest.
'One of the Caltrans guys happened to look into the hole and he saw little faces of the barn owls,' Kozicki said.
The nest was hidden in a pipe that was part of the pier's falsework and buried beneath rebar webbing. The nest could have stayed in place, Kozicki said, if workers hadn't planned to cover it up with concrete.
So Tuesday, officials gathered all the poop, bones and nesting material from the nest and transported it to a similar pipe that will become the owl family's new digs, 30 feet away.------------------------------------------- posted 6:41 AM :: reference link ::
