Seeing Dennis's Little Owl image motivated me to post this one taken last month at Salton Sea, California. We call them Burrowing Owl here in the US.
I got to the owl location in the cover of darkness and lied flat on the ground waiting for the owls. They are fairly tolerant of people as this is a fairly well known location, but still I didn't want to put any stress on the owls. This image was taken shortly after sunrise.
