- In 2008, the city began placing new barn owl boxes and replacing old boxes which had fallen into disrepair after the retirement of Terry Schulz (former supervisor of the ["California Raptor Center"]) in 1991. One of the goals of the program is to help control the growing rodent population in the city by encouraging the presence of the owls - who prey on rats and mice - which should also lead to a reduction in the use of rodent poisons.[[Footnote(Golden, Cory. ''Heart-faced helpers: City hopes barn owls can curb rodent population.'' ["The Davis Enterprise"]. 2008-07-20.)]]	+ In 2008, the city began placing new barn owl boxes and replacing old boxes which had fallen into disrepair after the retirement of Terry Schulz (former supervisor of the ["California Raptor Center"]) in 1991. One of the goals of the program is to help control the city's growing rodent population by encouraging the presence of the owls whose natural prey are rats and mice. Ideally, this would also lead to a reduction in the use of rodent poisons.[[Footnote(Golden, Cory. ''Heart-faced helpers: City hopes barn owls can curb rodent population.''

I wondered what a gull would be doing flying solo so late at night. When it neared the balcony it circled and looked down at me...it was a Barn Owl. First time I had seen one and it was beautiful. The breeze kicked up and it floated away over the building. --["Users/DukeMcAdow"]
