I took this shot near my house in Corrales last spring. Burrowing owls are small owls which nest in holes or burrows to raise their young. This guy and his mate were nesting in a burrow in the side of an arroyo near my house. It used a fence post as a look out to guard his nest. If you got too close it would scold you! By summer the young are old enough to leave the nest and the owls move on. They usually come back to the burrow to nest again the following year.
