	Owl Box Survey- We Need Your Help! Have you or someone you know constructed a perch or nesting box for raptors (hawks and owls) to help control rodents? If so, we would like you to complete a survey on the role perches and nesting boxes play in controlling these pests. We are interested in learning about both successes and failures in attracting raptors or controlling rodents. Farmers and gardeners from around the country have built perches and nesting boxes to attract raptors, in part because of the success of a Merced County almond grower who achieved phenomenal gopher control after he constructed several owl boxes. His story and research highlights were featured in the Fall 1992 issue of Sustainable Agriculture and in several magazines. To participate in the survey, or to obtain a copy of the SAREP article which includes perch and box diagrams, write or call Chuck Ingels, SAREP Information Group, University of California, Davis, CA 95616; tel: (916) 757-3276; fax: (916) 757-3281; e-mail: caingels@ucdavis.edu.
