Burrowing Owl — size comparison — facts and sources
The burrowing owl inhabits open American landscapes. Long-legged, it often remains near ground-level burrows used for shelter and breeding, including mammal-dug tunnels.
It hunts insects, rodents and other small vertebrates using sight and hearing from low perches. Adults bring prey to chicks and regurgitate indigestible bones and hard invertebrate parts in pellets.
