Show Notes

A decommissioned military base in northeast Oregon provides sanctuary for a recovering burrowing owl population.  

David Johnson is founder of the Global Owl Project to protect endangered owl species all over the world. And one lucky owl species that’s been David’s main focus for these past 12 years is the little burrowing owl. His rescue mission involves some chemical weapons, an old military base, and a very large plunger.
