Burrowing owls are so cute and different from other owls with their long legs burrowing in the ground. I saw a video a while ago that showed how they make a sound just like rattlesnake rattle to ward off predators. Was wondering whether you heard that? Regardless, your photographs really capture their essence. Thank you for sharing them. The heat must have been brutal. I’m glad it (or rattlesnakes) didn’t take you down!
