I’ve had the pleasure of photographing burrowing owls in Florida, Texas, South Dakota, California and Brazil. This guy was captured in the latter and seemed to have a bit more of an attitude than his cousins up north in the United States. Unlike most owls, the burrowing owl is diurnal rather than nocturnal and lives in burrows rather than in trees. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 340mm) ISO 400, f/6.3 at 1/1000th of a second.
