Adopt Me!
Background
Kim Possible and McGyver lost their site to development in 2024. They were spotted the next season within an abandoned home with structure issues on the roof. They were escorted out after the roof was fixed and are now currently nesting in the front yard. As this home may become a tear down, we hope to install starter burrows nearby for habitat for these resilient owls!
