A Burrowing Owl Guarding Its Desert Home
At the entrance to an underground nest, a small burrowing owl stands atop the dry ground. High mesas rise in the background behind steep canyon walls, while cracked earth and scattered desert rocks cover the surrounding landscape.
Fascinating Facts About Burrowing Owls
Burrowing owls are among the few owl species that live underground, often taking over abandoned burrows created by prairie dogs or tortoises. Unlike most nocturnal owls, these birds are active during the day and frequently hunt insects and small rodents along open terrain. Their long legs help them sprint across dusty soil to catch prey on foot.
