The Burrowing Owl is very common in the San Diego area, and they are known for making burrows in some areas like grasslands, deserts, and rangelands. These owls are actually pretty different from the other types of owls because of the various things that it does. The burrowing owl actually is still active during the day, whereas many other types of owls sleep all day and hunt and become active during the night. On the other hand though, these owls still do a lot of their hunting from dusk until dawn. They do this while it is dark because, as owls, they have amazing night vision, and they use it to their ability. The burrowing owl has yellow eyes, and these owls also have a lot of head movements. The burrowing owl uses it's head to reflect what it's feeling, and also uses different sounds to reflect if it is feeling endangered, or if it is trying to attract a mate. The male owl is the one who makes sounds to attract the female owl, and will make the usual "Who Who" noise. The owl is really not one of the species that is being effected by the problem of endangerment, but there is still the issue of trees that are like homes to the owls being cut down. It really is an issue that we cannot put into our own hands, but it is still something to keep out our minds. Should there ever be a problem with the population of the Burrowing Owl, you'll know about that owl because of this blog.
Realizing that you have the power to change small thing like this really will change the way that you see life and the way the different organisms live around you. There should not be an issue anytime soon with these types of owls, but there is still going to be that risk that one day, the burrowing owl could become extinct. Like many of the other animals whom are not directly effected by endangerment, it is still affective to know the least there is to know about the Burrowing Owl.
