Hey folks,
i recently spent an early morning with some burrowing owls i found in southern california.
I had an great time with these little owls around their burrow, probably the original home of squirrels or prairie dogs.
With out much further saying, here are some shots, i hope you enjoy them, critizism is welcome!
cheers

and even posed for me :-)

my neck breaks just looking at this...
About these owls(source Wikipedia entry):
The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open, dry area with low vegetation.[3] They nest and roost in burrows, such as those excavated by prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.). Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. Like many other kinds of owls, though, burrowing owls do most of their hunting during dusk and dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to forests, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs that enable it to sprint, as well as fly, when hunting.
nice shots of these cool owls
thanks!
Now I want an Owl Pet!!! Great capture my friend. I am curious how far are you from those birds during the shoot?
Let´s keep them wild :-) I was about 10m away.
Wow what wonderful pictures of these cute little owls!

I love owls! I find them very interesting and cute too with their big eyes, and I was looking at a few posts, but this one, I definitely had to stop to read the post to see every picture. …. Hey there! And standing guard are my favorites.😁
