Another bird seen on my commute from my in-laws' house to work. I saw as many as eleven, depending on the time of day and the route I took to (or from) work. They lived right along the side of the road burrowed into the packed dirt along a canal at the perimeter of a crop field. Best sighting was dusk when all the owls were outside their burrows enjoying the cool evening air, but usually I saw them in the mornings on the way in to work.

Last week I drove out to my in-laws' house two evenings in a row, and saw lots of these guys... including two families, each with three little fuzzy baby owls. The families were all just standing around their burrows, enjoying the cooler evening air.
ReplyDeleteLast night, I pointed out the owls to Cael on our drive home from the in-laws' house. Seeing an owl family, I told him that was a Mommy, Daddy, and baby owl. He said, "I want say 'hi Daddy Owl.'" I told him he could and he did, and then he said to me, "I say 'hi Daddy Owl,'" as if I hadn't heard him. My kid is so cute!
