Burrowing owl (Western North American race hypugaea). This 10-inch-tall burrowing owl is standing besides its burrow. These burrows are usually created by squirrels, prairie dogs, or other rodents and even turtles, and only rarely dug by the owl itself. Salton Sea, Imperial County, California, USA, Athene cunicularia, Athene cunicularia hypugaea. Copyright Phillip Colla, Oceanlight.com
