This is the site for a proposed Harley Davidson dealership. They're moving right along. They may have some sediment control and drainage challenges as it's adjacent to a water tower, a new Mercedes dealership, a new nursing school, some apartments, a migratory path and a natural protected area, but so far they're doing great (insert stress cracks here).
I think this the female of a pair of burrowing owls. They've been seen together, for several days now, flying between a couple of burrows that seem abandoned. On Sunday, that included a lot of copulation. After one mating, this bird came over and started scratching out a burrow, sat down in it and then flew away.
I think that in this soil, they'll take an abandoned burrow, but she'll improve it to her tastes, down inside. I suspect that this is ritual digging, that's part of a mating routine.
