Juvenile Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) just after sunrise
Antelope Island State Park, Davis County, Utah

I just adore Burrowing Owls, especially the juveniles because they seem to be more animated than the adults. This owlet had three other siblings that were equally as cute. This is probably one of the moments were the juvenile looked more serious than at other times.
Just a short post this morning as I am heading out to photograph more birds.

These birds are so darned cute! All this one needs is a top hat to go with those tails.
LOVE this pic!
