I am an Oregonian who wants to thank you David Johnson for the time and effort you have spent working with owls in Umatilla. I wish you strength and peace to overcome your health diagnosis so you can continue working more with the owls.
I'm in Southern California. We've had a great horned owl hanging around our house for months but a few weeks ago I saw him hanging out on our satellite dish. He loves to sit up there surveying his domain. It feels absolutely magical and special that he has chosen our house and he is here nearly every day. At first I was worried about him with our dogs but he is just fascinated by them and watches them run back and forth in our yard. It feels peaceful when he is on his perch - like he is watching over us.... Plus - he looks after any rodents nearby too.
Johnston is a real saint to be involved in the rehab of owls (mom as a little girl rescued an owl in Willows, Ca. Fed it dog-food!). Such magical creatures. Thanks David!
Amazing!!! Thank you to this gentleman...What a great example/role model of taking an active role in his purpose in giving back to this world & teaching the future to carry on the purpose...Blessings to you, your human family/team, & Owl family!!!
What an incredible project David has dedicated himself to. I myself got hooked on Owls last summer when I saw one on a hike I do regularly. I immediately dove into both birding and wildlife photography and have seen over 3 dozen Owls in many different locations in what is almost 1 full year now. Wishing David all the best in his fight against cancer.
I love owls. I get so thrilled when I hear a Great Horned Owl in my neighborhood at night. I too, am so drawn to them. I don’t quite understand why. It’s wonderful ❤
I moved to my current home 25 years ago and have had owls in the small forrest behind my house on and off for that time. Sometimes they sit in the trees where I can see them.I was once working at my desk and looked up to see an owl sitting in a tree, checking me out. It was a little unnerving but cool. Owls are wonderful fascinating creatures. Thank you so much Mr. Johnson.
One question is the effect of the residual chemicals such as sarin gas on Johnson’s health as well as the health of the owls who are burrowing in the ground that may still be contaminated. Is Johnson’s cancer related to the residual chemicals in the soil in that area. Also, now that the land is being managed by a Native American tribe, what are possible health effects on that community?
The chemicals have been completed incinerated for over a decade now. Air monitoring stations were placed all around the depot. Not a single mishap as far as I’m aware of.
What an important story and beautiful person. Thank you for spotlighting this story, CBS. It gave me a tangible sense of hope and gratitude for our fascinating world and the good people here. Sending best wishes for health and wellness to David Johnson! ❤
Although I haven’t seen the owls, it’s a comfort and a gift to hear one “whoo-ing” in the trees at night outside my bedroom window as if it’s on spiritual watch.🦉
These are the types of stories they should focus on, instead of celebrities. There are so many more amazing, interesting people to know out there who aren't famous.
Excellent story, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your videos of these beautiful and mysterious birds. You have left an incredible mark upon the world, the lives of these owls; the Indian tribes will forever remember you in their history, as will every owl lover, for all that you have done. Best wishes David for healing and a full recovery. Stay strong my friend.
As a child, I had a screech owl as a pet for a short time. My comment is that in the segment, the makers added the sound of the Barred Owl flying. There is no way an owl would make that sound in flight. They are the original stealth flyers, and do not make any sound in flight.
I was sitting in a deer stand in a tree. One day out of the corner of my eye I caught a movement, I slowly turned my head to see within 5 feet of me a owl had just landed there! That’s what I enjoyed more than anything!
I have always been-fascinated owls myself,I used to collect them,porcelain ones ,stiffed ones ,a friend of mine actually found a rock that looked like an owl and gave it to ne when we were all on a camping trip. Many years ago imhsd a barn owl that was perched on my fence for weeks when I drove to work,there’s a mysterious wo about them .
Have a nest of barn owls in a palm tree in front. Third generation to nest here. There are a lot of mice around here, so they are content to stay. Very noisy at night, though. The adults sound a little bit like hawks, with their screeching, etc.

A week with Joe Dispenza yields many reports 🧡

The part about the colon cancer 😢😭😭Much love 💕 and healing thoughts for this gentle man and friend 💓 of nature ❤😊
There are still a few good people left on this planet. David Johnson is one of them. I wish you well sir.
Mr. Johnson thank you you for all your work. A friend of mine is a survivor of colon cancer. Praying you will continue to be one as well 💙💙 🙏🏾🦉🦉
My grandfather was the first president of the Kentucky Falconers association...I was lucky enough to grow up around birds of prey and it was amazing
Thank you, David Johnson for your dedication to your valuable work. Best wishes on your personal life-saving therapy.

🌍🍃🦉🔭✨🌙💙
Praying for you David. Thank you for your work.
I love owls. All owls. Their cuteness is just one of their superpowers.
Thank you. I was born in June of 69 and I learned why just a few years ago…planting native plants to help our pollinators and birds.
Thank you, David Johnson. Thank you CBS Sunday morning. This was wonderful!
4:00 That dude looks like an owl!

If the world was half as passionate as this man about the care of an animal, it would be a beautiful thing. Thank you for your purpose.
I just love owls … always have … have several that live in my yard
I live in Cape Coral, FL and it is has a very large population of burrowing owls. They are a protected species here. I love seeing them !
Thank you for your commitment Mr. Johnson.
omg he is beautiful he looks like a human owl combo wow thankyou for loving and taking care of our world,
What an important story and beautiful person. Thank you for spotlighting this story, CBS. It gave me a tangible sense of hope and gratitude for our fascinating world and the good people here. Sending best wishes for health and wellness to David Johnson! ❤
Loved this story! Thank you!
These segments are usually schmaltzy and this is no exception-despite that I enjoyed it and the field experts who have dedicated themselves 🦉
David Johnson has owl eyes and a nose in the shape of an owl's beak. 😅🥰 He resembles an owl. It's destiny. 😂❤
Janet Yellen for owl president
I thought the same thing- 😅- wonderful man and dedication to helping owls. I love owls!
Owl's eyes seem to look through your soul. Almost supernatural in some ways.
Thank you David! A life of service is its own reward.
Best of luck to this man, and his wonderful work.
I love owls! Johnston is doing a great job! ❤️🦉
Owls are magic in the very best ways!
Superb owls
Although I haven’t seen the owls, it’s a comfort and a gift to hear one “whoo-ing” in the trees at night outside my bedroom window as if it’s on spiritual watch.🦉
I am reading Ms. Ackerman's book right now! Great timing.
These are the types of stories they should focus on, instead of celebrities. There are so many more amazing, interesting people to know out there who aren't famous.
I loved that he is dedicated to helping Owls. I think they picked me as well.
I always have an owl calendar. They just need to be part of my every day.
A hero for owls and the earth. Hoping your stage 4 is in the rear view mirror very, very soon. Thanks for what you do.
Beautiful and mysterious birds.
He is a person after my own heart, I love owls of any type.
Thank you Mr.Johnson❤🎊
I believe they are sacred and on a level like a human is as far as how intriguing they are.
Not far from where I work in southeastern Florida are several owl burrows. It's easy to fall in love with those birds once you've seen them up close.
Extraordinary! Truly fantastic story! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this story.
What a neat (aka "cool") person! And he kinda looks a bit owl-ish too! Lovely story. Bless him!
Feel better sir. The owls are hooting for you.
Whoa, Mr Johnson looks exactly like an Owl!! No, really... look at him and look at the Owls
Excellent story, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your videos of these beautiful and mysterious birds. You have left an incredible mark upon the world, the lives of these owls; the Indian tribes will forever remember you in their history, as will every owl lover, for all that you have done.

You have completed your mission, go heal.❤
Fantastic story all around.
God bless him for helping the owls ❤
I love owls, they're magnificent creatures

My favorite bird of prey i have a spotted owl tattoo

Oh, I love owls!
Such appealing birds! Mystical aura about them.😨
God bless, strength in your recovery.

Good Man 👍 Go Strong 💪🙏
I've seen Burrowing owls in Brasil. They look fearsome...
When nature chooses you, it chose, RIGHT !!! 💪💪💪
I was sitting in a deer stand in a tree. One day out of the corner of my eye I caught a movement, I slowly turned my head to see within 5 feet of me a owl had just landed there! That’s what I enjoyed more than anything!

That Guy looks like an Owl ~ is that just a Coincidence ~ or have I just smoked Too Much Weed ??
No no. He does. You’re not wrong. You might also be high, but you’re not wrong.
Have a nest of barn owls in a palm tree in front. Third generation to nest here. There are a lot of mice around here, so they are content to stay. Very noisy at night, though. The adults sound a little bit like hawks, with their screeching, etc.
