It would appear I got this little one’s attention, eh? Taken back in July as the owlets were just starting to test their wings, this one’s siblings opted to retreat for cover but it remained brave checking out the intruder with the camera.

Burrowing owls are certainly one of my favorite summertime photo subjects and this year I did get some fun pics of them. Their time in Colorado has come to an end and most have now started their migration south for the winter. When the snow begins to melt next spring, you can bet I will be watching for their return.
