Two burrowing owls peer from their underground nest entrance, watching whatever is near their home on Friday in a Cooper City, Fla. park. Officials there is a shrinking population of 3,000 owls. Expanding home and business construction has destroyed much of what was their homes. In some places, officials are trying to draw the owls to man-made holes in protected areas.
