"After receiving a tip about a family of Burrowing Owls on the eastern edge of Cheyenne, a photographer rushed to the location in late June. The owlets seemed nearly ready to leave their burrows. Over the years, the photographer has perfected a method using a GoPro on a small tripod, set to take a photo every 5 seconds. They leave the camera behind, allowing the owls to feel comfortable. The challenge lies in the long wait to see if the effort pays off. This shot was taken on June 28th."

Wow, you get a little bit of everything Burrow Owl in one pic!
I snagged a great unique Burrow Owl photo yesterday for my reserves you will be seeing soon!
That one owl is definitely trying to give a "serious" interview, and the family is clearly just photobombing the hell out of it. like that one sibling on the bottom being like "OH HAI" and the father trying to be sneaking up in the air because he's wearing the owl equivalent of a bathrobe or something.
the things we overcome, amiright?
I know I shouldn't anthorpomorphize. but it's sooo fun.
Hey now, 2/3 of what we do here is anthropomorphize owls!
