  • On the open plains of Columbia, a species of owl lives without trees or nests. They are burrowing owls - the only owl species in the world to live underground.

    I've never even seen an owl walk yet alone dig a hole.

    I was excited to learn a new owl fact, and then it was just burrowing owls. We have many where I live. This video made me appreciate the ecology at my doorstep.

    >Hey, I have wings that are evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to carry me far distances and help me fly silently throught the night.

    I’ve seen these in the wild!. It’s a bizarre site.

    I am genuinely worried about these owls.

    I thought this was common because I grew up near a park that just had them. For decades now. Like the birds just build burrows wherever they feel like it every year. They have a colony.

    Owls are such cool animals. I shot a video of a large Barred owl, you can see how the camouflage works in some of the different views, pretty neat :)
