Amazing Pictures Of Burrowing Owls

The Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) is a tiny but long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. When you first encounter Burrowing Owls, it's hard not to be hypnotized by those large, round, bright yellow eyes. Their stare is intense and almost a little disconcerting, but they're actually among the more approachable owl species.
