A Burrow/Burrowing Owl.. A small ground-dwelling Owl with a round head and no ear tufts. They have white eyebrows, yellow eyes, and long legs. The Owl is sandy coloured on the head, back, and upperparts of the wings and white-to-cream with barring on the breast and belly and a prominent white chin stripe. They have a rounded head, and yellow eyes with white eyebrows. The young are brown on the head, back, and wings with a white belly and chest. They moult into an adult-like plumage during their first summer. Burrowing Owls are comparatively easy to see because they are often active in daylight, and are surprisingly bold and approachable. The females are usually darker than the males.

Great capture! I have some that live near my home. I love sitting out at night and watch them hunt. They are smart enough to know not to use the burrows on my property where the dogs could get them. They stay outside my fence. They are gorgous birds. Great close up!
