Burrowing owl

The elusive burrowing owl.

We've waited years to spot one. When we got this one, we spent twenty minutes watching and taking pictures of him. When we finally drove on, we found another standing on a post within half a mile, then another, then another. Altogether, we saw five of them standing on posts.

Actually, they don't live on fence posts, they live in prairie dog burrows. Later, we did see some on the ground in and next to burrows.
