Burrowing Owls
Who ever heard of such a thing?
This last week I have been going through some of my old and even older files. These guys brought back some fond memories. Their underground hut was in the back yard of a friend in Golden Valley Arizona. My best back yard critter is worms! When called that the Owl young had hatched and were showing themselves above ground I was there in short order. Early one morning, bright sunshine and about 99 degrees. I felt like a lizard cooking my belly as I lay about 100′ from the birds hut. I waited and waited. Then two eyes appeared. Then four. And out came the little ones. And right with them was Mom to look out for mean old cameraman!
