I photographed at least seventy burrowing owls yesterday evening and only one told me to GTFO, which I promptly did. Look at his little tongue! So cute! 🪶 - ThreadSky

70! I had no idea there were so many together in one place

burrowingowl.bsky.social•2 days ago

We have probably 4000 pairs in my county, about 70 percent of the entire burrowing owl population of California.

zamafir.bsky.social•1 day ago

What county? I grew up in Temecula (Riverside) and would always see them, such cool birds!

burrowingowl.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Imperial. The few years I lived in Temecula I saw so many burrows disappear there!

tiinak.bsky.social•2 days ago

And I’ve never even seen one!

ok2panic.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow. I did not know that. Very cool.

troydeclan.bsky.social•2 days ago

How many left to photograph? 🦉📷

doclt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Are you up by Davis?

burrowingowl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Imperial County, by the Mexican border.

doclt.bsky.social•2 days ago

How are the wildflowers down there this year?

burrowingowl.bsky.social•2 days ago

No rain, no flowers.

I keep harassing a San Diego relative to visit Anza Borrego, but they’re too lazy to drive out there.

shireenj.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow. I didn’t realize you photographed so many in one shoot. That’s a lot of pairs!

pawistik.bsky.social•2 days ago

I've never seen one in real life, they are still on my birding bucket list. I think a trip to Grasslands National Park needs to be on my agenda.

I love burrow owls so much! Adorable.

mynameiskelz.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have several around my property. I love these little birds so much. There is a museum in AZ called the Sonoran Desert Museum that built them a whole habitat. 🥰😍

Only one? That's quite an achievement lol

burrowingowl.bsky.social•2 days ago

They get a lot more touchy when they start laying eggs, which will start soon.

bckev.bsky.social•2 days ago

Where did you photograph them?

burrowingowl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Imperial county California

bckev.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am in the South Okanagan in BC and they have been attempting to bring back a viable population for years. It would be neat to see 70 in one area.

(I believe there Hope for us Humanity after all!)
