Here comes breakfast!

Taken from my favorite burrowing owl spot of the year, this nest has six little ones, a number that keeps the parents very busy. Mama is extraordinarily protective though, frequently sending out random warning calls sending the owlets scurrying underground. As always, these owls are very entertaining although their small size can make them a challenge to photograph, particularly in flight.
