(feet)The Burrowing Owl is a small owl with long-legs and a short tail that is found in North and South America. They primarily eat large insects and small mammals (principally rodents). They nest in abandoned animal burrows or crevices. They frequently perch on posts and rocks or can be seen peeking out of their burrows.
The best place to see them fairly closely is at Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley during the winter months. They and the Bufflehead are what got me on interested in bird watching.
