A very fun shot from the beginning of April when the owls first returned for the season. I previously shared an image from later in this encounter when the owl realized the rabbit was there and the two were face-to-face. This was taken a minute or so before that when the owl was so focused on me, it didn’t realize a curious cottontail had come to see what the ruckus was all about. It won’t be long and the burrowing owls will head south to their winter homes and I will definitely miss all the entertainment they provide.
