Burrowing Owl at Chino Airport

NOTE: This post is a duplication of the original here in the Military forum. I moved this sub-thread to keep from disrupting the intent of the original thread. So this is now the place for additional Burrowing Owl at Chino replies. There is a placemark in the original Fouga CM-170 Magister Collection, so no point duplicating it here.


I visited Planes of Fame today with Delta102. There's one newer plane further east that does not show up in the older imagery. It may well be there for refurbishment.



Later we walked around to the three in a row that are still in the same place as in the GE imagery. We looked a bit closer and the northernmost of the planes seems to have taken on a boarder.


It's a beautiful little Burrowing Owl .



So now the journey has turned into a bit of nature study. Viewing some older pictures of the same planes it appears that the owl uses the access hatch as a perch, and often stays there. Burrowing Owls live in underground burrows, but could this one have moved into the jet age and be living inside the plane? Next time out there, we're going to collect a few of the regurgitated pellets and try to detect what the diet has been.
