The Burrowing Owls Have Arrived






The arrival of owls on Antelope Island is always a joyful event for me. This pair of Burrowing Owls are already in their usual place and are preparing to build a nest in the burrow.

When I arrived at their usual place, there were two of owls there, but soon one went hunting and was absent for a long time.  





Owls have such a quiet, still presence that seems to go on forever.  It’s as if they’re masters of waiting for the perfect moment.  They kind of feel wise, don't they?









Generally, life is good.
