Once distributed broadly throughout Florida and western North America, the Burrowing Owl has found itself declining in numbers throughout its historic range. Paul Kragh is the Director of Burrowing Owl Conservation for Project Perch Inc., a not-for-profit group of volunteers dedicated to the preservation of Florida's Burrowing Owls.

Learn how Project Perch helps to protect these tiny subterranean owls by

• Finding and educating “caretakers” for owls

• Counting the owls annually during the breeding season

• Working with landowners to provide artificial burrows and nest boxes
