Another shot from the narrows, which was my favorite part of my trip to Zion last winter. This was a really breathtaking hike and to think we almost skipped it! This image is from a ways into the canyon. As the walls close in on you, the light level goes down but if you're there at the right time of day, you can see the glow of the afternoon sun illuminating the canyon walls in front of you for some truly otherworldly light. If you look reaaaaally close you might be able to make out some teeny tiny people.

My last image from here was way too colorful, I'll probably redo it sometime.

Hope you like it!

The Burrowing Owl

Couldn’t entice this little guy to come out of his burrow and pose for a portrait, so I settled for a head shot…Life is Good !!!

Burrowing Owls are small, sandy colored owls with bright-yellow eyes. They live underground in burrows they’ve dug themselves or taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise. They live in grasslands, deserts, and other open habitats, where they hunt mainly insects and rodents. Their numbers have declined sharply with human alteration of their habitat and the decline of prairie dogs and ground squirrels.

Before laying eggs, Burrowing Owls carpet the entrances to their homes with animal dung, which attracts dung beetles and other insects that the owls then catch and eat. They may also collect bottle caps, metal foil, cigarette butts, paper scraps, and other bits of trash at the entrance, possibly signifying that the burrow is occupied.

Burrowing Owls have a higher tolerance for carbon dioxide than other birds—an adaptation found in other burrowing animals, which spend long periods underground, where the gas can accumulate to higher levels than found above ground.

Unlike most owls in which the female is larger than the male, the sexes of the Burrowing Owl are the same size.

Burrowing Owls often stow extra food to ensure an adequate supply during incubation and brooding. When food is plentiful, the birds' underground larders can reach prodigious sizes. One cache observed in Saskatchewan in 1997 contained more than 200 rodents.

The oldest known Burrowing Owl was at least 9 years, 11 months old when it was sighted in California in 2014.
