Burrowing Owl nesting site, taken 28 April 2024 at 19:24 EDT.
Taken last year, this is pictorial tax for my previous post; this little guy was one of a family headquartered in a vacant lot along one of my habitual shopping routes.
Note the ropes cordoning the space off, as well as the designated perch set up for the owls. In the upper background, across the path, is another staked-off owl nesting site; unusually for birds of prey, Burrowing Owls are social animals who sometimes form communities of multiple families.
(If I’ve slipped into Earnest School Essay Mode, it’s because this is stuff I myself am very much newly learning.)
