Home of the Burrowing Owl
There is this small county road that runs right through a couple of farms that has a couple of signs that say “Borrowing Owls On the Ground, Drive Slowly.” This was our second trip as we visited this area late last year. It was a good day and we arrived early. Unlike last time there was no wind and the light was just right. We observed and smiled and took numerous pictures as they flew from the ground to the sign post and to the trees. They live underground in burrows they’ve either dug themselves or that were previously dug by a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise.
