A Family of Burrowing Owls

Yolo Bypass in Sacramento was closed this day due to flooding from recent heavy rains. But, not to be distracted from photographing waterfowl, we set out to take pictures of the Burrowing Owls that live in the area. These little owls never let us down. We usually spot the lookout sitting on a pole or sign. Then, a little further down the road one can see a single or double or even a family sitting up out of a hole moving its head back and forth. As long as you stay in your vehicle and respect their space, you can snap away and get some pretty decent and up close photos.
