Description

This Burrowing Owl looks very tiny, perched on top of the mullein plant, and s/he is small, although this very large plant makes the owl look even smaller than usual (and more than half the plant is not even in the photo)! S/he recently learned to fly and is enjoying that new-found skill.

Burrowing owls are born underground in burrows, often these are burrows built by prairie dogs. They hunt crickets, grasshoppers, and other bugs, as well as small mammals such as mice, and small reptiles. They are excellent parents, bringing food to their babies until the young ones are hunting bugs for themselves, and even afterwards for a while.
