Conservationists rejoice at return of burrowing owl
"I never thought that I'd get to see another burrowing owl in the province because it's been such a long time and there was a move afoot to call it extirpated...So when we found the first one in the spring, we really thought we were looking at a dinosaur or something."
- Ken DeSmet
Manitoba - Five years ago, Manitoba's burrowing owls pulled a disappearing act.
Conservationists aren't sure why, or where they went, but some recent sightings of the endangered species have them hooting with joy.
