Burrowing Owl

Athene cunicularia

Notes:

This little guy was not wanting to emerge! My first spotting of a Burrowing Owl...took me a while to upload!! True to its name, the Burrowing Owl nests in a hole in the ground. Although it is quite willing to dig its own burrow, it often uses one already provided by prairie dogs, skunks, armadillos, or tortoises. (Cornell)

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Emily, I found several birds that somehow I forgot about! Imagine that! ;-)
