"Burrowing Owl"

Burrowing Owls have bright yellow eyes, yellow beaks, a brown back with white spotting, and a white belly with brown barring. It is about 25 cm in length with a 53 cm wingspan. Much of the length comes from the burrowing owl's long legs that it eternally stands on. Because of their habitats, burrowing owls are one of the most terrestrial owl species (if not the most).

Photo taken at the Calgary Zoo, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
