The juvenile Burrowing Owls were quite active at just the right time – when the sun was still low but high enough to give me enough light and\u00a0shutter speed that I didn’t have to crank up my ISO too far.\u00a0 I haven’t had a lot of luck with Burrowing Owls in full flight so I was quite pleased with this shot even though I had to add a bit of canvas to the image for composition.<\/p>\n

These youngsters are beginning to show some signs of maturing by the development of more color on the breast.\u00a0 As you can see, this is one of the young birds that has been banded.It’s\u00a0very entertaining to watch these juveniles.<\/p>\n

In the morning before it gets too hot they often fly from\u00a0perch to nearby\u00a0perch and when they’re on the ground they seem to enjoy manipulating objects like twigs and leaves and\u00a0nibbling on flowers.\u00a0\u00a0They\u00a0interact with each other with the enthusiasm of youth.\u00a0 The problem for the photographer\u00a0is that when they’re on the ground it’s virtually impossible to get a clear shot of them through\u00a0all the\u00a0vegetation.<\/p>\n

I really enjoy these little guys.<\/p>\n
