On Sunday, after seeing the Black-throated Blue Warbler and Tufted Duck 
in Santa Cruz we turned off of Route 1 onto the road/driveway for 
Elkhorn Native Plant Nursery right across from the Beacon gas station. 
 On the right about half way to the nursery we saw a Burrowing Owl on 
the south side of the road.
