A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Athene cunicularia
A small owl, they are mottled brown all over with white "eyebrows" and large feet.
We drove through a prairie dog town and saw 6 of these guys, the individual in the first photo I think was just squatting down because he looked extra tiny!

Thanks Christy and Joshua! I am on a mission to get some excellent pictures of these guys, if you come down here I will find them for y'all!
Lucky! I've been dying to see these guys up close in the wild.
Fantastic, Ashley!! I've yet to see these guys in the wild!
Uhh it's like 2.75/5 haha, I want better pictures of these guys to actually fully count them for my year
Nice!! Is that 3/5 species?
