Description
A Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) in Cape Coral, Florida.
The Burrowing Owl is a small, pint-sized bird that lives in open, treeless areas, mostly vacant lots. Its sandy brown plumage provides camouflage from potential predators. The Burrowing Owl averages nine inches in height, with a wingspan of 21 inches. The Burrowing Owl has bright yellow eyes and unusually long legs. Instead of nesting in the trees, as most birds do, the Burrowing Owl gets its name from living underground in burrows. Burrowing owls can live in close proximity to humans which make them unique.
