When The Sand Hits The Fan
Burrowing owls often spend time cleaning out the entrances to their burrows and when they do the sand being dug out goes flying ... fast and furious ... everywhere. In this case, all over its mate who is standing guard nearby ... probably supervising its work. LOL.
I just love it when they clean their burrows and no matter how often I see this moment, I can't help but laugh out loud. :-) This particular burrow was still being dug out, since it was a brand new one. With all of the years that I've been speding time with them, I've never seen the number of new burrows that I have this year. Several times I' had to notify those in charge of their well-being, so that they would then mark off the burrow with sticks and tape/rope.
This week the blog post features many of the stories and images from the burrows. Check it out if you haven't yet at www.tnwaphotography.wordpress.com
