Description
I got up at 4:30 a.m. to drive up to photograph these little Burrowing Owl babies. They are so entertaining! Here they are still a bit sleepy-looking since they just came out of the burrow and haven't really woken up yet. They get way more active as the bugs get more active - it is very fun to watch them pounce on bugs - or - on anything that could maybe resemble a bug!
Burrowing owls are born underground in burrows, often times 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. Their numbers have declined sharply with human alteration of their habitat and the decline of prairie dogs and ground squirrels.

Thanks very much, Nancy! It is a hard life for these birds, especially now with climate change and modern agriculture and the gradual loss of the prairie grasslands which are their home.

Thank you, Asbed! So many people don't see the 3rd one unless they look, which is partly why I used that title. :)

A fabulous capture, they have posed so well for you in this early morning shot. I hope their numbers increase when people see how cute they really are. We don't have them here so it is lovely to see them and their antiques. L/F.
