These small owls stand about 9" tall and nest in underground burrows they excavate themselves in sandy soil grassland areas. They are a sub-species of the lighter colored Burrowing Owls of the Midwest and West where they typically inhabit unused Prairie Dog burrows.

They have such large beautiful eyes. These photos were mostly taken at 600mm, but close enough that we could fill the frame without their scurrying into their burrow. Please try the downloads to appreciate them.


They are so cute and I love the closeup shots of both mom and the kids, hereford! And yes...the dls are delightful!
