One of our little Burrowing Owl friends from the Phoenix Zoo. They were NOT cooperative, yesterday, flying or running off almost every time I pointed the camera at them. They were, however, more cooperative than their neighbors, the Prairie Dogs, who all went underground and stayed there.

Hi Dave - great story - do you have to pay to go to the zoo or do they now let you in for free cuz you are telling the world about what zoo you go to & show all of what they have there - next question - when are you going to move in there :rofl: forgive me - I just got done being a tour guide for the Planet of Green - this ia great title - & a very good shot but the owl does look like you called it - humor is good - take care - :)

Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV

Great posture, the background matches perfectly the little fellow's plumage.

Thanks :) He ran into his tunnel immediately after glaring at me.

Usually the Prairie Dogs at the zoo pretty much ignore the visitors, so I was surprised when they hid.

Thanks :) I would imagine it would be. Even in the zoo they're a bit skittish.

:D Yeah, I wonder if they would make me some kind of deal for the publicity. But, it doesn't cost me anything to get in, because I have an annual membership. These days, it costs me a few bucks in gas, though. I actually wouldn't mind moving into the zoo :) It's probably the closest thing to an oasis there is in Phoenix.

As for the owl, he glared at me, then ran and hid :rofl:
