I haven’t posted a Burrowing Owl in a bit so I thought I would share this yawning juvenile Burrowing Owl that I photographed the beginning of July.<\/p>\n

This young owl spent a lot of time yawning with its eyes closed as I photographed it but I was able to get a few frames where its bill and eyes were wide open.<\/p>\n

I haven’t spent as much time with Burrowing Owls<\/span><\/a> this summer as I would have liked to but the heat is getting to me. I can’t believe I am looking forward to when temps cool down to the low 90’s. It is only supposed to be 98\u00b0F today, I guess I should be thankful for that.<\/p>\n

I’ve missed these little Desert Clowns.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
