Big Eyed Burrowing Owl
We have been fortunate to have seen the Burrowing Owls in Davis Ca. Unfortunately their previous burrows had been turned over by large farming equipment which means that these darling little owls will need to move. The Borrowing Owls are the most interesting of the owls as they are out in the day and stare back at you when you are taking there photo. The burrowing owl isn't your average owl: It doesn't live in trees, and it's not nocturnal. It makes its nest underground — usually in abandoned rodent burrows — and is active both day and night. But human population explosion has reduced the charismatic western burrowing owl's breeding populations by more than 60 percent, and counting.
