Portrait of a Burrowing Owl
We returned to one of our favorite borrowing owl spots. We never fail to spot burrowing Owls in Davis near a sign that says, “Burrowing Owls, drive carefully.” This little guy let us get up close and personal to capture his beautiful portrait. Burrowing Owls are very well camouflaged and amazingly small compared to the wide-open areas where they live, so a spotting scope will be useful for viewing them. You’ll need to patiently scan a likely habitat—pay special attention to dirt mounds around burrow entrances, where owls often stand when they’re not hunting, sometimes with just their head and eyes showing.
