  “TIDYING UP”

Every trip down to Florida I ALWAYS make sure to spend a day or more with these Burrowing Owls (Athene
cunicularia) and for many reasons…

This tiny species of Owl was my third Owl species photographed but the amazing part About working with this subject is the amount of time you’re able to actually see what goes on in their day to day living. 

One of the questions I’d ask myself was how do you maintain the cleanliness of a home underground? I found out rather quickly that these owls Are SERIOUS about keeping debris out. Their method of sweeping is simply using their feet to kick out everything and they do this throughout the day. They stay inside the Burrow and work their way out. If you look close enough, you’ll see a flower that was brought in the day before.
