Burrowing Owls Love
Mating Burrowing Owls. The burrowing owl is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation. They nest and roost in burrows, such as those excavated by prairie dogs. Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. Like many other kinds of owls, though, burrowing owls do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to forests, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs that enable it to sprint, as well as fly, when hunting.. Linda D Lester

EDITORS COMMENTS
Burrowing Owls in Love: A Heartwarming Moment in the Grasslands The enchanting image before you captures the tender moment between a pair of burrowing owls, a small, nocturnal creature that calls open grasslands and dry areas its home. Burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia), part of the Strigidae family, are unique among owls for their diurnal behavior, often active during the day, and their preference for burrows as their nesting and roosting sites. This charming pair, perched atop their burrow, exudes a sense of tranquility and devotion. Their turned heads reveal their bright, yellow eyes, which are perfectly adapted to their nocturnal hunting lifestyle. The burrowing owl's brown feathers blend seamlessly with the grass and weeds, making them almost invisible to predators and adding to their stealthy hunting abilities. Burrowing owls are well-equipped for their grassland habitat, with long, powerful legs that enable them to sprint and fly with ease. Their long legs also help them survey their surroundings, scanning for prey such as rodents, reptiles, and insects. As the sun sets and night falls, these adorable creatures will retreat to their burrows, using their exceptional hearing and night vision to hunt until dawn. The bond between these two owls is a testament to their unique lifestyle and the beauty of the natural world. This photograph, taken by renowned wildlife photographer Linda D Lester, invites us to appreciate the intricacies of the natural world and the wonders that lie hidden in the grasslands.
