Burrowing owls, a pint-sized bird averaging nine inches in height, is a species of conservation concern in eight states, endangered in Canada and threatened in Mexico. Typically they dig their burrows in areas cleared by humans, like golf courses, recreational parks, and airports. This mother guards her young chicks.
