I was out drivin' down the road just after sun-up earlier this year up in the high desert country and Burrowing Owls were out and around mostly sittin' atop fence posts.Lookin' for what, I don't know...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/stripermike/IMG_0088.1_zpsrtoezf74.jpg

Awesome pics, Mike.

Here's two photos of the male that left me a pellet on my deck two days ago. He was sitting on the handrail digesting I think. He found himself a mate about a week ago. Now there's two of them hooting back and forth almost every morning.
