Not knowing what to expect or how the day would turn out on my first opportunity for Burrowing Owls last August.
Only knowing that these owls are very small and brown in color…to arrive at a cow pasture covered in dry grass seemed like mission impossible.
After a long period of time the first owl was spotted and then I had some idea what to look for. It was the big yellow eyes that gave them away as the rest of the body blended well into the dry grass in the pasture.
