As we were leaving Wednesday afternoon, one of the Burrowing Owls at Brian Piccolo Park flew to the burrow across the walking path. When we returned yesterday afternoon, we were surprised to find two Burrowing Owls in one burrow and the other burrow appeared to be vacant. At one point, one of the owls emerged from the burrow and climbed to the edge. They have such expressive faces and the surrounding park grasses provided a soft green background. Their eyes changed constantly from wide open like in this image to half closed to sleeping and all of the appealing owl looks in between. We ended our trip on a high note, spending a couple of hours with the Burrowing Owls at Brian Piccolo Park.
