I recently visited Arizona and had the chance to spend about 14 hours with this awesome species! Thanks for viewing....

Western Burrowing Owl, Gilbert Arizona, July 2014 by KristenNicholas3159, on Flickr

They are quite the hunters catching all types of Dragon Flies, caterpillars, and Wester Cicada Killers. This owl was bringing back a Western Cicada Killer to the burrow that had 2 young in it.

Congrats on a wonderful encounter with these WBO's Kristen, you did well to capture their personality and behavior.
I enjoyed the whole series, but 3 and 4 are the standouts for me.

I laugh every time I see one of them tip their head so far to the side that they are almost looking at you upside down. They are a funny bird…..the Howdy Owl.

Thanks

Very cool set!
#1 has some harsh light which distracts

The one with the goofy look is quite hilarious

Lovely set, Kristen. The shot of the trio is out of the park cool. The pose of the one is the middle makes this very unique. Wonderful work.
