Description
This young Burrowing Owl is at the age where everything is interesting and everything must be explored. So s/he grabbed and shook the plant a bit, of course! It was very cute. :) S/he is only about 6 weeks old and is still being cared for by very busy parents.
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.
The adults have barring across their chests; the babies start getting these stripes as they get a little older.
