Burrowing Owls keep watch over Moffett Field wetlands. The burrowing owl is currently listed as a Species of Special Concern in California. Data collected since 1992 at Moffett Field suggest that the population at Moffett Field is the largest sub-population of owls in the region. Thus, the Moffett Field population is an important site for the long-term survival of burrowing owls in the Bay Area (Trulio 1999). used in Ames 60 yr. History NASA SP-2000-4314
