Escondido, California - San Diego Zoo Global scientists are celebrating a major conservation milestone for the organization’s Burrowing Owl Recovery Program. One of two burrowing owls released into their native range have successfully reproduced—and they have produced the program’s first chicks to be hatched in the wild. The mother owl, known as “Blue X,” hatched at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park’s Bird Breeding Complex (BBC) in 2018. The father owl, known as “B06,” is the offspring of birds that were translocated from Otay Mesa, California to the Rancho Jamul Ecological Reserve, as part of an effort to establish additional burrowing owl breeding nodes in San Diego County. The chicks represent new hope for a species whose population is in decline.
