From Ojai Raptor Center

Burrowing Owl patients 654 & 692 were caught getting cozy with one another in our Burrowing Owl flight earlier today. Patient 654 (on the right) was admitted with a retinal tear in the left eye after being attacked by a cat, along with Horner’s Syndrome, a rare condition that affects the nerves that lead to the eye, which commonly presents as ptosis, or an eye droop. Patient 692 was rescued after being attacked by a dog.

      Yup! The ones that stay put year round will share a home range, but not necessarily a single location, together throughout the year. Most of what I’ve read says they don’t hang out too much outside of nesting season though, so they maintain their own individual interests. 😄
