Description
Owls are unmistakable birds, and that goes double for a long-legged owl that hunts on the ground during the day. Burrowing Owls are small, sandy colored owls with bright-yellow eyes. They live underground in burrows they've dug themselves or taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise. They live in grasslands, deserts, and other open habitats, where they hunt mainly insects and rodents. Their numbers have declined sharply with human alteration of their habitat and the decline of prairie dogs and ground squirrels.
NOTE: The watermark in the lower right corner of the image will not appear on the final print.

Revisiting this wonderful photo of the pair of Burrowing Owls, which are very "memorable"! Amazing how they're usually standing and balanced on one leg.
