Description
I took this image of Mom and her 3 owlets late in the day after the heat had subsided somewhat. This was taken in the Texas panhandle.
Burrowing Owls live in open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrubsteppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests.
