The bird pictured is a Burrowing Owl and what can I say but "cute". This pint sized owl digs burrows similiar to a prairie dog where it lives and raises its young. The Burrowing Owl hunts small rodents and insects at night, but is often seen perched on the ground in daylight. It is easily approached by humans but when agitated, may display a quick bobbing action, like deep knee bends. You just have to love those long legs - they definitely add to its cuteness.
