Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are active during the day. They also are unique in that they live in burrows in the ground. They can be found in a variety of habitats including open grasslands, deserts, agricultural areas and any other wide open spaces. This little guy was photographed down on the west coast of Florida. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 380mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/160th of a second.
What I think makes the Burrowing Owl really special is that he doesn’t ask, “Who?” He asks “How?” and then “What can we do to prevent this from happening again?” I think we need more of that spirit in our country these days. Thank you Burrowing Owl.
