🦅 Two Shifts. One Campus.

Meet SCC’s feathered pest managers.

☀️ Day Shift: Kestrels
🌙 Night Shift: Barn Owls

Their alternate schedules give both species space to hunt without being in each other's way or fussing.

SCC currently hosts two barn owl boxes and two kestrel boxes, aimed at supporting our campus ecosystem.

And they aren’t the only birds lending a wing.

Other hawks, falcons, and egrets call campus their home, creating even more biodiversity right outside our doors.

The goal isn’t to eliminate every pest. It’s to create a healthier balance—protecting our campus while working with the ecosystem around us.

Turns out, sometimes the best pest-control team doesn’t need a uniform. 😉

🦉 The Fast and the Featherious: Offering “Prey-mium” Service

Meet some of the newest members of the SCC Facilities team.

They don’t clock in. They don’t answer emails. And they may not need a paycheck. But these feathery freelancers work hard at keeping campus pest-free.

Gophers, voles, and rats can damage turf, irrigation systems, and buildings—creating uneven playing surfaces and other safety concerns.

That’s where our birds of prey come in. 🦅🦉

Through a partnership with Napa Wildlife Rescue, SCC provides owl and kestrel boxes that welcome these natural hunters to campus. The birds help manage rodent populations without relying solely on chemical or invasive pest-control methods.

And the results can be impressive: a family of barn owls can consume 2,000+ rodents and other small mammals during their stay!

No pesticides. No payroll. Just nature doing what nature does best.
