Young Burrowing Owl On Mullein

Description
This young Burrowing Owl had just landed on the mullein stalk and was getting his or her balance. This young owlet, along with its siblings, has recently started to fly and is still mastering the skills of a good landing, of hunting, and of flying in general.
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 barred chests; the babies start getting these barring marks as they get a little older. Young burrowing owls can be very entertaining to watch as they run and jump and play with each other!
Photo taken on June 27, 2019, near Ft Collins, Colorado.
