This Burrowing Owl is standing guard at the entrance to its burrow. I'm using a very long lens for this image because I really don't like disturbing the wildlife I photograph. I am shooting with a 1000mm lens mounted on to a window-mounted tri-pod. You can tell the bird is aware of me but not agitated as it is standing only on one leg. If the bird had changed posture I would have left. I'm sure there are either young or eggs in its' nest.

The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.

A gorgeous image and beautiful bird. I wouldn't want to get too close to the burrow, though, as they like to line the opening with coyote dung - at least they do here in the Southwest. Presumably this keeps the predators away by masking the bird's scent. It would certainly keep me away! Glad you managed to get such a great shot!

Wonderful image, a nice composition and clear shot....

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile.
Excellent! He definately has a fix on you with his large binoculars Mike. Are these owls endangered? The owl seems to be giving its leg a rest. Thank you for a rare sight:-)

Great color! Capturing natures' color scheme is very inspirational!

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.
