Burrowing owl monitors needed: Hams are needed again this spring to
monitor and track the 172-MHz burrowing owl tags. ARRL Amateur Radio
Direction Finding Coordinator Joe Moell, K0OV, says many radio amateurs and
scanner enthusiasts joined the effort to listen for radio tags on endangered
Canadian burrowing owls during the fall 2000 southward migration and
continued to monitor through the winter. Transmitters have been placed on
wintering owls in southeastern Texas, and researchers want to know if these
Texas owls go to Canada in the spring or if they stay somewhere in the US.
The owls have begun leaving the Texas study site and will probably be on the
move at least until mid-April. In the meantime, Canadian burrowing owls
should be returning from Texas and Mexico at about the same time. For exact
frequencies and more information, visit Moell's "Homing In" site,
