Baby Owls Wildlife Birds Of Prey Celebrate Mother's Day 2025
May 11, 2025, Davie, Florida, USA: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY: Two burrowing owlets (Athene Cunicularia), also called the shoco, is a small, long-legged, primarily terrestrial, though not flightless species of owl native to the open landscapes of North and South America. Typically found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open, dry area with low vegetation. This pair are at the entrance to their burrow in Davie, on Mother's Day. These petite raptors are about the size of a soda can and are one of the few owl species that nest and roost in burrows, often digging them or taking over abandoned ones from other animals.
