To better reflect our mission, Friends of East Bay Owls has become...
We are not only committed to and advocating for the protection of Bay Area burrowing owls, but are now working for burrowing owls in all of our communities across California and North America.
Although we will continue to maintain the Friends of East Bay Owls website until December 30, 2010, we encourage you to update your links and bookmarks and make the move to BurrowingOwlConservation.org for the latest information TODAY!
FriendsofEastBayOwls.org will simply direct you to the new site in 2011.
