We’re taking a break from peregrine drama with the cutest owls on the planet.
This video of young burrowing owls was sent as a Thank You from Cornell Lab of Ornithology to its contributors in 2016.
Enjoy! And happy Friday!

p.s. In case you’re not familiar with Cornell Lab … they’re a unit of Cornell University that works to advance the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds. We, and the birds, have all benefited from their work.
You’ve probably used at least one of their online tools or participated in their programs: All About Birds website, eBird, the Merlin ID app, online bird ID classes (new class this month on Warbler ID!), nestcams & feeder cams, Great Backyard Bird Count, Project Feeder Watch, … to name a few.

So cute! I am amazed at how adaptable Burrowing Owls are. There is a pair that I watch at a very busy intersection in Tucson, and they regularly have 3-5 owlets.
That is so cute and adorable love it. Thank you for sharing it with us!
We have Burrowing Owls here in Florida too. Many times they nest on our school’s campus so care has to be taken not to disturb the nests. It is fun to watch the heads popping up and watching us as we watch them.
