I saw this while scrolling and didn’t recognize what type of owl it was at first. Then I saw it was just watered down! 😆

A Burrowing Owl, not at all excited about the torrential rain in South Dakota. (Not snow flakes in the background…it’s heavy rain.) Was happy to get this little guy perched on a post near the road.
I find myself forgetting many times that these owls actually fly! The photos usually show them on the ground being silly or showing off those legs, but they fly as much as any other owl.
