The Burrowing Owl is a small, long-legged owl found in North and South America. It has brown and white speckled plumage with bright yellow eyes. Burrowing Owls are known for nesting underground in burrows, often repurposing those abandoned by mammals like prairie dogs. A fun fact about Burrowing Owls is that they are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, unlike most owls.
