Four Burrowing Owl Babies

Description
These four Burrowing Owl babies had five more siblings below them in the burrow, which is their nest. Aren't they adorable? The owlets are about a month old and still relying entirely on mom and dad for food. As they get older, they will begin to try to catch bugs on their own and will venture away from the nest, while gradually learning to fly. They wil stay near this burrow until they're ready to fend for themselves at the end of the summer.
Burrowing owls are born underground in burrows, often these are burrows built by prairie dogs. They hunt crickets, grasshoppers, and other bugs, as well as small mammals such as mice, and small reptiles. They are excellent parents, bringing food to their babies until the young ones are hunting bugs for themselves, and even afterwards for a while.
The adults have stripes across their chests; the babies start getting these stripes as they get a little older. Baby burrowing owls can be very entertaining to watch as they run and jump and play with each other!
